The short version
- Only Windy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: 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; ClearAg the Internet Archive's capture of clearag.com on 21 December 2018 shows it redirecting to iteris.com/clearag, confirming ClearAg was owned and sold by Iteris, Inc. (agriculture weather analytics: soil moisture, crop growth and health, spray conditions, irrigation and harvest readiness modules) before the product later moved under DTN's Agribusiness line.
- They diverge on capability: Windy covers Weather visualization, ClearAg covers Spray window predictions.
