Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 天气预报 at 4.6 against Global tide's 3.9. 天气预报 also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 32). Global tide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
