Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OZ Weather at none against MCWX's shown. OZ Weather also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). MCWX's advantage is chart position (#207 vs unranked) and ratings volume (327 vs 48). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
