# Storm Tracker° vs Pflotsh Storm

The clearest difference is rating: Storm Tracker° at 4.6 against Pflotsh Storm's 4.0. Storm Tracker° also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (82K vs 4). Pflotsh Storm's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 46%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storm Tracker° sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Pflotsh Storm sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storm Tracker° holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storm Tracker° has 82K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Storm Tracker°'s written reviews are positive against 85% of Pflotsh Storm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Storm Tracker° ships an update every 2 months, Pflotsh Storm every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
