Verdict
Weather⁺ and Weather Clock Widget both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Weather Clock Widget's written reviews are positive against 56% of Weather⁺'s. Weather Clock Widget also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Weather⁺'s advantage is ratings volume (145K vs 2.5K) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
