Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlyFunWeather at Free against Crosswind Calculator Pro's $0.99. FlyFunWeather also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Crosswind Calculator Pro's advantage is chart position (#173 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
