Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wx Models at 3.0 against Weather Models's 1.1. Wx Models also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Weather Models's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and device support. On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
