Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WeatherSatelliteMap at none against Cloud Map's 1. WeatherSatelliteMap also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). Cloud Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
