This comparison is meant to help you to decide which of the data logging and weather serving embedded products fits your needs best. As every comparison it has some subjective element, especially when comparing with competing products. We tried to be fair, but might not highlight the specific strengths of competing products. If you suggest changes/additions, please drop us a mail.

Comparison below does not reflect the per-minute permanent storage option for Meteobridge NANO SD and RPI we are currently working on. When this gets finalized the Meteobridge RPI might be a very good upgrade alternative for Meteohub users, as Meteohub coming a long way from its start in 2007 is a bit outdated in new features and weather station support.
