Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Weather Widget® at 4.7 against Flash Weather's 4.4. Weather Widget® also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 105) and review sentiment (81% vs 65%). Flash Weather's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
