Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Windometer at none against The Barometer's shown. Windometer also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 67%) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). The Barometer's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs paid) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

The Barometer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 249 and 315 respectively.
