Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Wind Compass at Free against AeroCast pro's $2.99. Wind Compass also leads on chart position (#76 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). AeroCast pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
