Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Average Meteo at none against Ice Map's 2. Average Meteo also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Ice Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
