Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KFCWeather at none against Thor Lightning's shown. KFCWeather also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). Thor Lightning's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
