The Hydrawise irrigation management system is free for most users worldwide. Hydrawise uses the award-winning forecasting technology provided by The Weather Company (which operates The Weather Channel and Weather Underground), as well as global Hydrawise Virtual Weather Stations (VWS), to meet the needs of the typical user.
However, some customers want to fine-tune their irrigation to provide even more water savings. The Hydrawise Enthusiast Plan gives you access to more weather stations, longer data storage times, instant SMS alerts, and improved weather history accuracy. It also provides the ability to monitor five weather stations at your location.
