Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AfricaWeather at 4.5 against Weather°'s 2.6. AfricaWeather also leads on ratings volume (258 vs 5). Weather°'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
