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; Granular granular is now Granular Insights, a Corteva-owned farm management app; granular.ag is a login-gated JavaScript application requiring browser support (Chrome or Safari), not a marketing site, and support is routed only through Corteva Digital Support rather than a public pricing page.
  • They diverge on capability: AccuWeather covers RealFeel temperature, Granular covers Farm financial management.
