The short version

  • 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; StormGeo no longer independent as fully owned subsidiary of Alfa Laval since June 2021
  • They diverge on capability: MeteoGroup covers European forecasts, StormGeo covers Weather routing.
