Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alpinecast at none against EverythingWeather's 6. Alpinecast also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). EverythingWeather's advantage is chart position (#71 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
