Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Earthquake Mapper at Free against InstantWeather's $0.99. Earthquake Mapper also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). InstantWeather's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
