# 2345天气王 vs Transparency Weather

The clearest difference is update cadence: 2345天气王 at every 2 weeks against Transparency Weather's every 6 weeks. 2345天气王 also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 51) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Transparency Weather's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2345天气王 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and Transparency Weather sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2345天气王 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2345天气王 has 1K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of 2345天气王's written reviews are positive against 92% of Transparency Weather's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

2345天气王 ships an update every 2 weeks, Transparency Weather every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
