Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Weather Widget® at none against Weather's shown. Weather Widget® also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). Weather's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
