**Answer.** Lazyweb Research detected 22 distinct experiments at Clime (July 2026), of which at least 5 touch the paywall. [1] Clime is a mid-volume weather app whose detected iteration is spread across surfaces, with a modest paywall footprint relative to category leader AccuWeather (17). These are observed before/after variations with inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests.

## The finding

Lazyweb Research detected **22 distinct experiments** at Clime, with at least 5 on the paywall. [1] Clime sits in the middle of the weather-app pack — more total experiments than NOAA (10) or Windy (11), but a smaller paywall share than AccuWeather (17 paywall). Most of its detected iteration is on non-paywall surfaces.

## How to apply it

Clime is a benchmark for a mid-tier weather app that experiments broadly but keeps a lighter paywall-testing cadence than the category leader. If your utility app is early in monetization, Clime's 5-paywall profile is a realistic starting point; AccuWeather's 17 shows the ceiling. One experiment was detected in 2026. [1]

## Caveats

All figures are observed variations with LLM-inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests — no lift is measured. [1] Surface splits are lower bounds because screen category is unlabeled on 1,425 of 4,814 corpus experiments. [cat_null]

## The numbers

| Stat | Computed from |
| --- | --- |
| 22 distinct experiments; at least 5 paywall | company_total:clime (value 22; paywall 5, in-2026 1) |
| 1,425 of 4,814 experiments have no screen category | screen_category_null_on_experiments (1425/4814) |

## Methodology

Universe: 22 distinct Clime experiments (COUNT(DISTINCT experiment_id)) within 4,814 detected before/after UI diffs across 276 companies, July 2026. Extraction: LLM-inferred rationale on observed variations. Caveat: detected variations only, never company-confirmed A/B tests.

- [cat_null] Lazyweb Research analysis of 4,814 detected experiments (276 companies, ~800-app mobile corpus), July 2026. screen_category is NULL on 1,425 experiments, so all surface splits are lower bounds.
