Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seabreeze.com.au at 93% against PredictCurrent's 57%. Seabreeze.com.au also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). PredictCurrent's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (270 vs 19). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
