Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Professional Barometer at 4.3 against Position Weather Tools's 3.8. Professional Barometer also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Position Weather Tools's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 42 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
