Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather ۬ at 4.5 against forecast.co.uk's 4.0. Weather ۬ also leads on ratings volume (272K vs 2) and chart position (#47 vs unranked). forecast.co.uk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
