AccuWeather plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 1 | Entry tier |
| AccuWeather Premium | $1.99/month | - | +$1.99/month |
| AccuWeather Premium+ | $4.99/month | - | +$3/month |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Free
FreeThe entry tier. It covers 500 daily api calls (14-day trial).
AccuWeather Premium
$1.99/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from Free on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.
AccuWeather Premium+
$4.99/monthNothing on the record separates this tier from AccuWeather Premium on features. Check the vendor's page for the limits it lifts.
Where AccuWeather stops being free
Free, Free
- 500 daily API calls (14-day trial)
AccuWeather Premium, $1.99/month
The record lists no feature the paid tier has and the free one does not, which usually means the paid tier lifts limits rather than unlocking capability. The vendor's page is the place to confirm which limits.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the AccuWeather badges page.
Before you pay for AccuWeather
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $4.99/month, with the jump not itemised on the record. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
AccuWeather runs on web, ios, android, macos, and is published by AccuWeather Inc. of State College, Pennsylvania, USA. The full record is on the AccuWeather review, and the rest of the category is under best weather & environment tools.
