Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RaceBase Mobile at none against Turbulence Forecast's 11. RaceBase Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Turbulence Forecast's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 3) and chart position (#40 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
