Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Red Sky Ready at none against EverythingWeather's 6. Red Sky Ready also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). EverythingWeather's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
