Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iACWeigh at 5.0 against O.R.I.O.N.'s 2.9. iACWeigh also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15). O.R.I.O.N.'s advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
