Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WeatherSat at none against WeatherGraph's 1. WeatherSat also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). WeatherGraph's advantage is ratings volume (103 vs 10) and device support (5 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
