The short version

  • Only AirVisual has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BreezoMeter no longer an independent product. Google acquired BreezoMeter and breezometer.com now redirects to the Google Maps Platform environment APIs; AirVisual outdoor readings depend on nearby government or crowdsourced monitors, so accuracy varies with local coverage
  • They diverge on capability: BreezoMeter covers Hyperlocal AQI, AirVisual covers Global AQI coverage.

  • Its capabilities are now bought as Google Maps Platform usage rather than as a standalone subscription

AirVisual
