The short version

  • Only Storm Radar 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; Storm Radar iOS-only at launch with Android support still pending
  • They diverge on capability: MeteoGroup covers European forecasts, Storm Radar covers Future radar.
