The short version

  • Only Ambient Weather Network has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Ambient Weather Network the App Store listing states the Ambient Weather Network app requires iOS 14.1 or later, and the underlying station apps (awnet, AmbientTool) are tied to specific discontinued hardware models.; 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: Ambient Weather Network covers Cloud connectivity, Granular covers Farm financial management.
