The short version

  • Only Apple Weather (Dark Sky) has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Agrivi pricing is by quote only, with no rate, tier or minimum published anywhere on the site; every route to a price is a Book a Meeting or Get a Demo request; Apple Weather (Dark Sky) dark Sky as a standalone app and API no longer exists, it was removed from the App Store and its API shut down; Dark Sky's technology now only exists folded into the built-in Apple Weather app, so any 'Dark Sky' branded product/API can no longer be evaluated or purchased
  • They diverge on capability: Agrivi covers Production planning, Apple Weather (Dark Sky) covers Minute-by-minute precipitation.
