The short version

  • Only Apple Weather (Dark Sky) has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; INTTRA iNTTRA's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 18 January 2022 confirms it operates under E2open with a 'Learn About E2open' link on its own navigation, and pricing remains bare contact-sales with no named editions; a customer testimonial quoted on the same page (not INTTRA's own pricing) cites Bill of Lading fee savings of $25 to $75 per shipment from consolidating onto the platform
  • They diverge on capability: Apple Weather (Dark Sky) covers Minute-by-minute precipitation, INTTRA covers Electronic booking.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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
  • Apple Weather has no public pricing/API tier of its own comparable to the old Dark Sky API, developers must use Apple's separate WeatherKit product instead
  • Apple Weather (the consumer app) is limited to Apple's own platforms; it is not available on Android or Windows

INTTRA

  • INTTRA's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 18 January 2022 confirms it operates under E2open with a 'Learn About E2open' link on its own navigation, and pricing remains bare contact-sales with no named editions; a customer testimonial quoted on the same page (not INTTRA's own pricing) cites Bill of Lading fee savings of $25 to $75 per shipment from consolidating onto the platform
