Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Flash Weather at Free against My Lightning Tracker Pro's $4.99. Flash Weather also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). My Lightning Tracker Pro's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 105). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
