How We Compare Radar Tools
Every comparison on this page uses the same five criteria: accuracy (how closely radar echoes match what actually falls on the ground), update speed (how fresh each radar frame is), coverage (global reach and where the gaps are), usability (how quickly you get from opening the page to an answer), and price (what is genuinely free versus paywalled). We test every tool in the browser, on desktop and mobile, side by side on the same storm systems.
