Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Allergy Plus by Pollen.com at Free against My Pollen Forecast Pro's $4.99. Allergy Plus by Pollen.com also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 1K) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). My Pollen Forecast Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Allergy Plus by Pollen.com is free to download; My Pollen Forecast Pro costs $4.99 up front. My Pollen Forecast Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Allergy Plus by Pollen.com sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Allergy Plus by Pollen.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Allergy Plus by Pollen.com has 23K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of My Pollen Forecast Pro's written reviews are positive against 47% of Allergy Plus by Pollen.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
