The short version

  • Only Weatherstack has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Gro Intelligence gro Intelligence publishes no price anywhere on its platform page; access to its agriculture and climate data platform is gated entirely behind a "Talk to our team" contact form rather than any published rate or tier (archived platform page, 8 November 2022); Weatherstack the free tier allows 100 API calls a month, which is a demo rather than a usable allowance
  • They diverge on capability: Gro Intelligence covers Crop forecasting, Weatherstack covers Real-time weather.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Gro Intelligence

  • Gro Intelligence publishes no price anywhere on its platform page; access to its agriculture and climate data platform is gated entirely behind a "Talk to our team" contact form rather than any published rate or tier (archived platform page, 8 November 2022)

Weatherstack

  • The free tier allows 100 API calls a month, which is a demo rather than a usable allowance
  • Historical weather data starts at the Standard plan, $9.99 a month for 50,000 calls
  • Forecasting is tiered: 7 days from Professional at $49.99 a month and 14 days from Business at $99.99
  • Multi-language responses and bulk queries need Professional or above
  • Going past the monthly quota incurs overage charges rather than throttling
