Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 7 Stripes at 5.0 against Whether's 4.2. 7 Stripes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). Whether's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
