The short version
- Only Carrot Weather has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Carrot Weather most advanced weather data sources (AccuWeather, The Weather Channel, Aeris Weather, Netatmo personal stations) and map layers (lightning, alerts, wind, humidity, dew point, snow depth) are locked behind paid Premium/Ultrapremium Club subscriptions, not included in the base app; ClearAg the Internet Archive's capture of clearag.com on 21 December 2018 shows it redirecting to iteris.com/clearag, confirming ClearAg was owned and sold by Iteris, Inc. (agriculture weather analytics: soil moisture, crop growth and health, spray conditions, irrigation and harvest readiness modules) before the product later moved under DTN's Agribusiness line.
- They diverge on capability: Carrot Weather covers Personality modes, ClearAg covers Spray window predictions.
