Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather Office+ at 4.7 against SPC Mesoanalysis's 4.0. Weather Office+ also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 3) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). SPC Mesoanalysis's advantage is price ($3.99 vs $6.99) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Weather Office+ costs $6.99 and SPC Mesoanalysis $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Weather Office+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weather Office+ has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Weather Office+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of SPC Mesoanalysis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
