Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Marine Forecast at 100% against PredictCurrent's 57%. My Marine Forecast also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). PredictCurrent's advantage is ratings volume (272 vs 26) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
