Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: hi!tide Venice at none against Meteo's 3. hi!tide Venice also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Meteo's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 8). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
