Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Set And Drift at none against WLTX Weather's shown. Set And Drift also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). WLTX Weather's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
