Cry is used more. Weep is sort of an old fashioned word.
People use the word cry as a noun sometimes.
example: I had a good cry today.
People never use the word weep as a noun.
example: I had a good weep today. (This sentence is unnatural.)

Use it when you say the set phrase "Read it and weep."
Use it when you want to sound poetic or dramatic.
Use it when you want to let other people know how deeply you care about someone else who is hurting or in a bad situation.
