Verdict
The clearest difference is price: KOB 4 Weather at Free against 彩云天气Pro's $14.99. KOB 4 Weather also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.7) and ads (none vs shown). 彩云天气Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
