Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Weather Office at none against NextWeather's 1. Weather Office also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 59%). NextWeather's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (800 vs 98). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
