Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thunderstorm simulation at 4.4 against meteor night's 3.2. Thunderstorm simulation also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 65 months). meteor night's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
