Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arable Mobile at 5.0 against WeatherLink's 2.7. Arable Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WeatherLink's advantage is ratings volume (220 vs 4) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
