Feature-by-feature comparison
Built for forecasts, not just posts
Substack treats every piece of content as an article. Weather forecasts need maps, data, and a way to prove you were right.
Forecasts are maps, not essays
Publish interactive maps with drawn regions, accumulation ranges, and timing — not just text.
Automatic verification
When a storm passes, NWS observations compare against your predictions. Your accuracy is public record.
Track record, not just posts
Your profile shows every forecast with its status — pending, active, or verified. Readers see proof.
No 10% platform fee
Substack takes 10% of paid subscription revenue. ForecasterHQ charges a flat platform fee with no revenue share.
Structured predictions
Enter min/max accumulation, temperature, or timing per region. Not a wall of text — scannable data.
One-click embeds
Embed your live forecast map on any website. Substack posts are stuck on Substack.
Can you use both?
Absolutely. Many forecasters use Substack for long-form analysis and ForecasterHQ for the forecast itself — the map, the regions, the predictions. Link your Substack from your ForecasterHQ profile and your ForecasterHQ forecast from your Substack posts. They complement each other.
