Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CNN Weather at fortnightly against MetLog's every 2 months. CNN Weather also leads on chart position (#17 vs unranked). MetLog's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
