Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather Live° at 4.6 against forecast.co.uk's 4.0. Weather Live° also leads on ratings volume (401K vs 2) and review sentiment (70% vs 49%). forecast.co.uk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
