People bring EPA AirNow in for checking current air quality index (aqi) for a location or any searched area, viewing next-day aqi forecasts to plan outdoor activities, monitoring wildfire smoke via the fire and smoke map (built with the u.s. forest service), saving multiple locations for quick reference, receiving optional push notifications for local aqi forecasts. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to EPA AirNow are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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 EPA AirNow badges page.
Before you pay for EPA AirNow
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: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
EPA AirNow runs on ios, android, web, and is published by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of Washington, D.C.. The full record is on the EPA AirNow review, and the rest of the category is under best weather tools.
