# Room Heat vs CloudEdge

The clearest difference is rating: CloudEdge at 4.3 against Room Heat's 1.8. CloudEdge also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 22%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months). Room Heat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Room Heat asks for nothing beyond the download.

CloudEdge holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudEdge has 21K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Room Heat's written reviews are positive against 65% of CloudEdge's.

Room Heat ships an update every 9 months, CloudEdge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
