Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Windometer at 81% against Anemometer's 18%. Windometer also leads on price (Free vs $3.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and chart position (#121 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
