The short version

  • Only Ventusky 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; Ventusky the Premium subscription page names two tiers, Premium and Premium plus, capped at 4 and 25 devices respectively, but publishes no price for either, showing a dash where the figure would appear
  • They diverge on capability: MeteoGroup covers European forecasts, Ventusky covers Animated weather maps.
