Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WXPR at 100% against Ravinia's 14%. WXPR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Ravinia's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 26) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
