The hourly graph, the 10 day, precise rain timing, sun and moon, air quality, and official government alerts. Underneath that, a character reads the same data and tells you what it means for your day. Grab an umbrella. Light jacket. Best window is 3 to 5. She reacts to your actual weather.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SunSpan at free against Miso Weather's freemium. SunSpan also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Miso Weather's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
