Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CalaWeather at Free against My Hurricane Tracker Pro's $3.99. CalaWeather also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). My Hurricane Tracker Pro's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
