Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather⁺ at 4.6 against Weather°'s 2.6. Weather⁺ also leads on ratings volume (145K vs 5) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). Weather°'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
