DropTally's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

PredictWind is free to download; DropTally costs $1.99 up front. PredictWind sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. DropTally asks for nothing beyond the download.
