Verdict
The clearest difference is price: HG Smartlife at Free against CoreTemperature's $0.99. CoreTemperature's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
