Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Daylight at none against Wind Speed Forecast App's 4. Daylight also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Wind Speed Forecast App's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 19). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
