Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: FMI Weather at Free against RHMZ's $1.99. FMI Weather also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 23 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 50%). RHMZ's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
