Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WeatherLink at none against Nivium's 2. WeatherLink also leads on chart position (#168 vs unranked). Nivium's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
