# FluvalSmart vs TempPro

The clearest difference is rating: TempPro at 4.2 against FluvalSmart's 2.5. TempPro also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). FluvalSmart's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 2%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TempPro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 503 and 533 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of FluvalSmart's written reviews are positive against 2% of TempPro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FluvalSmart ships an update every 2 months, TempPro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
