What you would be giving up
1Weather is most often brought in for checking current conditions and 24-hour forecasts, live radar and severe weather warnings, tracking air quality index and pollen levels (premium), minute-by-minute precipitation tracking (premium), sun/moon tracking and home-screen weather widgets. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If 1Weather is broadly right and the question is cost, the 1Weather pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the full directory lists everything.
1Weather runs on android, ios. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
