Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MobIR Pro at 2.3 against RIDGID Thermal's 1.8. MobIR Pro also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). RIDGID Thermal's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (128 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

MobIR Pro holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RIDGID Thermal has 128 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of RIDGID Thermal's written reviews are positive against 0% of MobIR Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RIDGID Thermal ships an update every 9 months, MobIR Pro every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
