The short version

  • Only Windy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Airveda primarily a hardware company; the data platform accompanies monitors rather than standing alone; Windy windy Premium is required for the 1-hour and 15-day forecast outlook, 4-6x daily model updates, 24-hour radar/satellite loops with 1-year archives, and tide forecast maps, per the App Store listing; the free tier lacks these
  • They diverge on capability: Airveda covers PM2.5 monitoring, Windy covers Weather visualization.
