# Meteo Sat vs Rain Maps

The clearest difference is rating: Rain Maps at 4.1 against Meteo Sat's 1.0. Rain Maps also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (82 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteo Sat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rain Maps sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rain Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rain Maps has 82 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Meteo Sat's written reviews are positive against 70% of Rain Maps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meteo Sat ships an update every 10 months, Rain Maps every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
