The short version

  • Only MyRadar has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: MeteoGroup the vendor's own domain (meteogroup.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021, redirects to and displays DTN's own corporate site listing DTN's weather and agriculture product lines (ClearAg, WeatherSentry, ProphetX), confirming in the vendor's own pages that MeteoGroup now operates under the DTN brand with no independent MeteoGroup pricing surviving; no dollar figures were found on the DTN page; MyRadar rain and storm time predictions are inaccurate approximately 60 percent of the time according to user reports
  • They diverge on capability: MeteoGroup covers European forecasts, MyRadar covers Animated radar.
