Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Humidity Free at none against OpenSnow's 3. Humidity Free also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). OpenSnow's advantage is ratings volume (9.1K vs 2) and chart position (#48 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OpenSnow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year. Humidity Free asks for nothing beyond the download.
Humidity Free holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenSnow has 9.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of OpenSnow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Humidity Free's.
