The short version

  • Only AccuWeather has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AccuWeather free API tier limited to 500 calls/day (14-day trial), forcing quick upgrade to paid plans; AgriSync acquired by John Deere, and agrisync.com no longer resolves, so it is no longer sold as an independent product
  • They diverge on capability: AccuWeather covers RealFeel temperature, AgriSync covers Video support.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AccuWeather

  • Free API tier limited to 500 calls/day (14-day trial), forcing quick upgrade to paid plans
  • Entry paid API tier (Starter, $2/month) capped at 15,000 monthly calls with only Current Conditions and 5-day Forecast
  • Higher-tier forecast features (72-hour/10-day/120-hour/15-day forecasts, Alerts, Imagery) gated behind Prime ($250/mo) and Elite ($500/mo) API plans
  • Consumer app requires iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 / macOS 14 or later, excluding older Apple devices

AgriSync

  • Acquired by John Deere, and agrisync.com no longer resolves, so it is no longer sold as an independent product
  • Built around advisor-to-farmer support rather than farm record keeping, so it does not replace a farm management system
