Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Windy.com at 4.8 against 知天气's 4.3. Windy.com also leads on ratings volume (80K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 知天气's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Windy.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3.
