# Storm Tracker° vs Tornado Vision

The clearest difference is rating: Storm Tracker° at 4.6 against Tornado Vision's 3.1. Storm Tracker° also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (82K vs 156). Tornado Vision's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Tornado Vision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
