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; Conservis acquired by TELUS Agriculture and Rabobank in July 2021, so it is now part of a larger agriculture portfolio
  • They diverge on capability: AccuWeather covers RealFeel temperature, Conservis covers Field & crop planning.
