raincast

One month free, then $0.99 a month.
No ads, ever.

If a weather app is free and full of ads, you are the product. Raincast is paid by the people who use it — which is why it can tell you the truth about its own accuracy.

Trial 1 month free

Everything, for a month — long enough to see it be right, and wrong, a few times.

  • Live radar map, next hour in 5-minute steps
  • Up to five places, or "follow me"
  • Onset, peak and duration alerts with your own warning time and sensitivity
  • Quiet hours, alert history with thumbs feedback
  • No ads during the trial either

Individual $0.99 / month

$0.99 a month, or $7.99 a year — the year saves you about a third.

  • Everything in the trial, without end
  • Cancel in Google Play, no questions
  • Your subscription funds the radar engine and the accuracy publishing — nothing else

Family $18.99 / year

One plan for the whole household — three people or more. How members join is settled with the beta.

  • For families and shared homes alike — one payer, everyone's places
  • Shared places — "home", "school", "the pitch" — saved once
  • Per-member sensitivity: first drizzle for the cyclist, real rain for grandad
  • Two yearly Individual plans cost less than Family; from three people, Family wins

Prices in USD; Google Play shows your local price. Subscriptions are billed through Google Play (the App Store later) — subscribe in the app, not on this site. Signing in here with your email gives you the live map and your saved places; the subscription travels with that same account. During the Android beta the app is free; subscriptions switch on after it.

One parent. Every phone in the house. Everyone dry.

In most families one person is the weather department. They check the sky before the school run, tell everyone to bring a jacket, and get blamed when it pours. Raincast Family gives that person the controls: shared locations, per-member thresholds, and alerts that say"Rain at school in ~20 min — light, lasting ~10" — a concrete decision: leave now, wait fifteen, or bring the cover.

Family plans ship after the Android beta; the beta is one account per phone. Join the beta and you are first in line.

What you never get

That is why the privacy policy fits on one screen. And because a forecast you can't check is just marketing, the accuracy is published weekly, misses included.

Ready when you are
