Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Windometer at 81% against Anemometer's 18%. Windometer also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anemometer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Windometer has 249 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Anemometer's written reviews are positive against 81% of Windometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anemometer ships an update every 4 months, Windometer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
