The call

The clearest difference is price: Storm Tracker° at Free against Hail No!'s $4.99. Storm Tracker° also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (82K vs 14). Hail No!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
