Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: White River Now at none against Air1's shown. Air1's advantage is ratings volume (482 vs 5) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Air1 against 4.4 for White River Now. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air1 has 482 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
