When to use which?

7Timer! is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Meteoblue works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. Meteoblue supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
