Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CyclistWeather at none against Cloud Point's shown. CyclistWeather also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Cloud Point's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
