Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Camparator at 4.3 against Climbing Weather's 3.8. Climbing Weather's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 50%) and ratings volume (26 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Camparator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Climbing Weather has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Climbing Weather's written reviews are positive against 50% of Camparator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
