Plans: Free and Chaser
What Free includes, what Chaser adds, the 7-day free trial, and paying by card or through Google Play.
Polar Lights has two plans. Free is free for good. Chaser adds faster, wider alerts and the longer-range forecasts.
What each includes
| Free | Chaser | |
|---|---|---|
| Saved places | 1 | 10 |
| Aurora alerts | Email, for Home | Email and push, for all your places |
| 1-hour heads-up | No | Yes |
| Alerts before aurora (Bz, substorms, CMEs, flares) | No | Yes |
| Kp forecast | 3 days, daily peak | 3-hourly and 27-day |
| Solar activity graphs | No | Yes |
The forecast itself, the map, the Sun tab, sightings, the gallery and badges are the same on both.
