Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NorCast Consulting at none against EverythingWeather's 6. NorCast Consulting also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). EverythingWeather's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 12 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
