The clearest difference is price: Weather Tracker at Free against Wind now's $1.99. Weather Tracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 16 months). Wind now's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
