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

Bushel Farm

  • Prices are not shown on the current pages; the tier names appear but the figures sit behind an old pricing path
  • Much of the value comes from integrations with John Deere Operations Center, Climate FieldView and the Bushel grain network, so the benefit depends on already using those
  • There is no free tier, only a 30 day trial
