  • Only Windy 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; 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: BreezoMeter covers Hyperlocal AQI, Windy covers Weather visualization.
