Convek vs TopMeteo
A clean comparison for pilots and developers evaluating soaring weather options.
TopMeteo is a well-established European soaring forecast service, serving pilots and clubs across multiple regions. Convek is a developer-facing API - a different product category aimed at people who want to build with the data.
What Convek is
Convek is a REST JSON API. It is designed to be consumed by apps, instruments, club dashboards, and custom tooling - not by pilots browsing a website.
What TopMeteo is
TopMeteo is a pilot-facing web product with country subscriptions and a mobile app. It produces excellent maps, soundings, and cross-country assessments across many European regions.
