Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Whether at Free against Weather OS's $3.99. Whether also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Weather OS's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
