Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WHIO Weather at Free against Supermoon's $0.99. WHIO Weather also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 1). Supermoon's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
