Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WindowForecast at 100% against Acme Weather's 62%. WindowForecast also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Acme Weather's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
