How to gift Windy Premium 🎁

FlySNJ

I too found this confusing.
Suggest you call them “One Time Purchase” and “Renewing Subscription”, because the phrase “buy for one year” implies repeating cost.

Another suggestion: the main reason for upgrading for me is getting rid of advertisements. It would be nice to have a lower price to get rid of the ads, only. Just call it “Remove Ads”. Perhaps people like me would pay $20 but not $30.

Also, the differences in density, quality, and speed should be better explained. Examples:

In Density, what’s the difference between standard and high resolution? Resolution in terms of data quality, or resolution in time?

In Quality, what’s the difference between standard data and precise data? How much more precision?

In Speed, can you quantify the improvement? In low network loading conditions, wouldn’t any difference be negligible?

@flysnj Hello, are you please referring to Windy.com or other app? We do not have any ads in the app nor on desktop.

@korina
I -am- referring to your iOS app.
I know it is not currently showing ads - thank you, but when I look at the upgrade to Premium page which compares Free vs Premium table, under Free, Privacy, it says “Targeted advertisement from 2021”.

@flysnj Hi, to answer your question:

Density - normally forecast is displayed in 3 hour intervals, but in Premium you will get forecast in 1hr steps, which is much more precise.

Quality - in free version, ECMWF is only updated 2 times a day (every 12 hours), in Premium this intervals lowers to 4 times a day (every 6 hours).

Speed - we offer faster delivery of our data.

Hello!
We are evaluating the purchase of windy premium and I wanted to know a little more and I have some questions:

Is it possible to access satellite data from goes with a longer period of time?
Can we access surface observations of variables such as precipitation?
If windy is used in a company, how many people can log in with the premium account at the same time?
Can we access a trial period to see how windi premium works?

Best regards

@gaoqiangzhang Hello, I have contacted FastSpring support and put you into copy. I will let you know once they reply me.

@juanbada Hello, the complete information can be found here - https://www.windy.com/subscription?50.080,14.505,5
One Premium license can be assigned to only 1 account and is intended to be used by one user. At the moment, we do not offer trial for Windy Premium. Furthermore, a longer satellite archive is not offered via Windy Premium. One of the main Premium features is 1-hour forecast, which allows you to view detailed forecasts in shorter time steps.

Suty

@wmn53 Yes, you can use the Premium on your both devices, since the Premium is assigned to an account under email address after the purchase.

Hi
I do not understand one time payment for one year?

idefix37

@Alireza-Rezamand

There are 2 options:

one-time purchase gives you access to Premium for one year without renewal nor subscription.
the regular subscription that renews annually automatically.

Thanks for the info david

I followed the procedure in the first post of this thread, but maybe some things have changed since 2020. There was no "Windy CheckOut" email where to pick up any code with this format - "WINDYxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx".

The premium account was created on my email address which is not the one the person who receive the gift is going to use.

Am I wrong?

Suty

@herrufer Hi, we changed the provider for the subscription management from Fastspring to Paddle. But the process is still completely same.

Unfortunately, we cannot reset the Premium now, however, we can move the Premium to certain email account. So please contact us at support@windy.com and we can handle that there as well.
