Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Solstice at 4.8 against Weathergraph weather widget's 4.2. Solstice also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 74%). Weathergraph weather widget's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
