# Pro Weather vs AWEKAS Stationsweb: A European Comparison URL: https://pro-weather.com/blog/pro-weather-vs-awekas-stationsweb > How AWEKAS Stationsweb compares with Pro Weather for European station owners: licence vs subscription pricing, domains, languages, warnings and history. For a European weather station owner who wants a real website rather than a page on a shared map, the shortlist gets small quickly, and **AWEKAS Stationsweb** is usually on it. AWEKAS itself is a long-established European station network with its own map and statistics; Stationsweb is the paid product on top, which turns your station's data into a personal weather website. **Pro Weather** is a hosted service built for the same job. This is one of the fairest fights on this blog, because both products are European, both are priced in euros, and both are honest about being paid products rather than free tiers with catches. The differences worth your attention are the licensing model, the domain, how far the design can be made yours, and what happens to your history. **Key takeaways:** - AWEKAS Stationsweb costs roughly €63-65/year per station, licensed against an AWEKAS station ID. Pro Weather is €5,99/month or €39/year per site, and one site can hold several stations. - AWEKAS sells non-recurring licences with real multi-year discounts: 10% off for two years, 20% off for three or more. A three-year Premium licence at about €156 is the cheapest paid route to a station website with a domain we found in 2026. - A custom domain sits on Stationsweb's Premium tier; on Pro Weather it is part of the one plan, with automatic SSL, alongside a free subdomain. - Stationsweb gives you the standard AWEKAS layout. Pro Weather's site is yours to brand: logo, banner, colors, fonts, tab layout and nineteen display languages. - Pro Weather states its retention plainly: every reading, forever. The Stationsweb page does not state a retention period, so ask before you rely on it. - You do not have to leave AWEKAS: Pro Weather uploads to the AWEKAS network on every refresh, so your map presence and community membership continue unchanged. ## What is AWEKAS Stationsweb? Stationsweb is AWEKAS's paid personal-website product: a hosted weather website generated from the data your station already sends to the AWEKAS network, licensed per station ID at roughly €63-65 per year ([AWEKAS Stationsweb](https://www.awekas.at/main/en/stationsweb-info/), retrieved 2 August 2026). It rides on one of Europe's most established station communities, and the licence model is refreshingly old-fashioned: you buy a term rather than enter a subscription, with 10% off for two years and 20% off for three or more. Beyond those published facts, this post deliberately stays general about Stationsweb's feature list. The AWEKAS page is the source for what it includes, and paraphrasing a competitor's features from memory is how comparison posts go wrong. ## How do the prices compare? Year by year, Pro Weather is cheaper: €39/year (or €5,99 monthly) against roughly €63-65/year for Stationsweb. Over three years, AWEKAS wins: the multi-year discount brings a Premium licence to about €156, against roughly €207-222 for Pro Weather with a domain, using the verified numbers from our [2026 pricing comparison](https://pro-weather.com/blog/weather-website-pricing-comparison). That three-year licence deserves to be called what it is: genuinely good value, and the cheapest paid path to a station website on your own domain that we found anywhere in 2026. There is also a structural difference some people care about more than the amount: a non-recurring licence cannot quietly renew itself, where a subscription (Pro Weather included) will. Two qualifiers cut the other way. Per-station licensing means a second station means a second licence, where a Pro Weather site carries [multiple stations on one subscription](https://pro-weather.com/docs/account-billing/subscription). And a custom domain sits on Stationsweb's Premium tier, so compare against the tier you would actually buy. ## Who owns the look, the domain and the address? Both can put your station on a domain you own, which already puts them ahead of every network profile page. The difference is what sits on that domain. A Stationsweb site uses the standard AWEKAS layout: coherent, proven, and shared with the other Stationsweb sites. Whether that is a limitation depends entirely on you; plenty of owners want a site that works, not a design project. A Pro Weather site is built to be unmistakably yours: your logo and banner, your colors and fonts, dark mode, header style, tab order, and an about section, arranged in a [customizer](https://pro-weather.com/docs/customizing/appearance) rather than code. The [custom domain](https://pro-weather.com/docs/custom-domain) comes with automatic SSL, and the free yours.pro-weather.com subdomain works on every plan including the trial. ## Which serves a European station better? Both are European products, so neither treats Europe as an afterthought, and this section is where they genuinely compete rather than trade blows. On the AWEKAS side: the network. Your station is part of an established European community with a map and statistics, visible alongside thousands of other member stations, and Stationsweb keeps you inside that ecosystem. If local weather communities matter to you, AWEKAS is where a lot of them already are. On the Pro Weather side, the European coverage is in the feature set: - **Nineteen display languages**, switchable by your visitors, [configured per site](https://pro-weather.com/docs/customizing/units-language). - **Severe-weather warnings from MeteoAlarm**, the network of Europe's national weather services, shown on your site and matched to your station's area. - **Air quality on the standards Europeans actually use**: the [European EAQI, the EU CAQI, the UK DAQI, the Dutch LKI and the Belgian BelAQI](https://pro-weather.com/docs/features/air-quality), alongside the US EPA index and others, eight standards in all. - **European publishing targets** beyond the usual list: Met Office WOW, the Belgian WOW-BE, wetter.com, Windfinder and Windguru, next to Weather Underground, CWOP and AWEKAS itself. ## What happens to your history? Pro Weather's answer is one word: forever. Every reading is stored permanently and drives the long-term charts, 28 all-time records, the almanac and [NOAA-style climate reports](https://pro-weather.com/docs/features/climate-reports), and the whole archive exports as CSV. Existing history can come along too, imported from weewx, CumulusMX or [any CSV](https://pro-weather.com/docs/getting-started/import-csv). For Stationsweb, the honest answer is that the product page does not state a retention period, and we will not invent one. If your archive matters to you (and if you are reading a comparison this far down, it does), ask AWEKAS what is kept, at what resolution, and how it comes back out, before you commit years of data anywhere. That advice applies to every service, ours included; our answers are in the docs above. ## Quick comparison | Factor | AWEKAS Stationsweb | Pro Weather | |---|---|---| | Price | ~€63-65/yr per station | €5,99/month or €39/year per site | | Multi-year deal | Non-recurring licence, 10% off 2 yrs, 20% off 3+ | Annual billing (about €33/yr saved vs monthly) | | Billing unit | Per station ID | Per site, several stations included | | Custom domain | Premium tier | Included, with automatic SSL | | Design | Standard AWEKAS layout | Your branding, colors, fonts, layout | | Languages | See the AWEKAS page | 19 display languages | | Severe-weather warnings | See the AWEKAS page | MeteoAlarm and US NWS | | History retention | Not stated on the product page | Forever, with CSV export | | Network membership | Built on the AWEKAS network | Feeds AWEKAS (and 15 other targets) via publishing | | Trial | See the AWEKAS page | 14 days, no credit card | Rows that say "see the AWEKAS page" are details their site is the source for; we compare only on what we verified. ## Can you keep AWEKAS and still run a Pro Weather site? Yes, and nothing about your network membership changes. AWEKAS is one of Pro Weather's built-in [publishing targets](https://pro-weather.com/docs/publishing): enter your AWEKAS username and password once and your readings upload on every refresh, about every five minutes. Your map presence, statistics and community standing continue exactly as before, while your own site becomes the address you hand out. That makes the trial a low-stakes experiment: run a [Pro Weather site](https://pro-weather.com/signup) for fourteen days alongside your AWEKAS membership, compare the result against a Stationsweb licence, and decide with both on screen. ## Which should you choose? Choose **AWEKAS Stationsweb** if you are already at home in the AWEKAS community, the standard layout suits you, and the three-year licence price appeals: at about €156 with a domain on the Premium tier, nothing paid beats it on cost. Choose **Pro Weather** if you want the site to look and behave like your own product rather than a network's: your branding, nineteen languages, MeteoAlarm warnings, eight AQI standards, alerts with webhooks, and a permanent archive with a stated retention policy, per site rather than per station. *A note on sources and bias: Pro Weather is my own product, so read the verdicts with that in mind. The Stationsweb prices and licence terms were checked against [the AWEKAS Stationsweb page](https://www.awekas.at/main/en/stationsweb-info/) on 2 August 2026 for our [pricing comparison](https://pro-weather.com/blog/weather-website-pricing-comparison), and the AWEKAS upload behaviour comes from operating that integration inside Pro Weather's publishing engine. Where an AWEKAS detail is not sourced there, this post says so instead of guessing.* ## Common questions ### Is AWEKAS Stationsweb cheaper than Pro Weather? Per year, no: roughly €63-65 against €39 on Pro Weather's annual price. Over three years, yes: the 20% multi-year discount brings a Premium licence to about €156, which beats Pro Weather's roughly €207-222 with a domain. If the standard AWEKAS layout fits what you want, that discount is the strongest argument for Stationsweb. ### Can Pro Weather send my data to the AWEKAS network? Yes. AWEKAS is a built-in [publishing target](https://pro-weather.com/docs/publishing): your readings upload automatically alongside Weather Underground, CWOP, Windy, Weathercloud, WOW and more. Running a Pro Weather site does not mean leaving the AWEKAS community. ### Does Pro Weather work in my language? Your site can display in any of nineteen languages, including German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian and the Nordic languages, with metric or imperial units [set per site](https://pro-weather.com/docs/customizing/units-language). Visitors can switch language themselves. ### Does Pro Weather show European severe-weather warnings? Yes. Warnings come from MeteoAlarm, which aggregates the official alerts of Europe's national weather services, matched to your station's area and shown on your public site; US stations get the same from the National Weather Service. Email and webhook [alerts](https://pro-weather.com/docs/alerts) on your own thresholds run separately, across more than forty conditions. ### Which air quality standards can a European site show? Eight: the European EAQI, the EU CAQI, the UK DAQI, the Dutch LKI, the Belgian BelAQI, the US EPA AQI, Canada's AQHI and Australia's NEPM scale, with [the standard chosen per site](https://pro-weather.com/docs/features/air-quality). A Davis AirLink or an Ecowitt PM sensor supplies the particulates. ### Do I have to decide before trying? No. The [14-day trial](https://pro-weather.com/signup) needs no credit card and runs alongside whatever your station feeds today, AWEKAS included. Connect your hardware, let a fortnight of data accumulate, and put the result next to a Stationsweb demo before spending anything.
