Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Consensus Weather at every 3 days against Tides Near Me's every 2 weeks. Tides Near Me's advantage is chart position (#44 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
