Pricing entry tiers: Map Plotter at free, Weather Company Scheduling Assistant at free.

Map Plotter has the larger user base (143 reviews vs 2), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Weather Company Scheduling Assistant's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
