Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The B at 100% against GoTemp Pro's 20%. The B also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9). GoTemp Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
