Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weather & Radar at 4.7 against Weather News PRO's 4.1. Weather & Radar also leads on ratings volume (305K vs 17) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Weather News PRO's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
