Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Netatmo Weather at none against ClassicWeather's 3. Netatmo Weather also leads on ads (none vs shown). ClassicWeather's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
