Thermography Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 26% of RIDGID Thermal's written reviews are positive against 13% of Thermography Camera'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, Thermography Camera every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
