# Temperature Lite vs Weather Radar

The clearest difference is rating: Weather Radar at 4.7 against Temperature Lite's 3.1. Weather Radar also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). Temperature Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temperature Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Weather Radar sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weather Radar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Radar has 109 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Temperature Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Weather Radar's.

Temperature Lite ships an update every 3 months, Weather Radar every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
