Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bermuda Weather at 5.0 against FirstAlertWX's 3.7. Bermuda Weather also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). FirstAlertWX's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
