Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PIREPMap at Free against Doppler Radar Map Live Pro's $9.99. PIREPMap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). Doppler Radar Map Live Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
