  • 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); 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: Gro Intelligence covers Crop forecasting, Windy covers Weather visualization.
