Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: UV Report at 5.0 against Storm Tracker°'s 4.6. UV Report also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Storm Tracker°'s advantage is ratings volume (82K vs 1) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
