Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PredictWind at none against Nautide's shown. PredictWind also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (84% vs 67%). Nautide's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
