Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wind Radar Map at 83% against Anemometer's 18%. Wind Radar Map also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Anemometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On ratings volume, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
