Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Suntain at none against Snowmap's 2. Suntain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Snowmap's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
