Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Barometer
This app logs atmospheric pressure with sea level correction using GPS data. It can record data in the background or more frequently when in the foreground. Manual height and position settings are also available for fixed location logging.

The atmospheric pressure logger with the sea level correction by using GPS height information. It can keep logging in background, approximately every 10 min (more longer when battery powered). App is in foreground, keep logging every minute, In order to obtain the sea level correction value, we use the GPS position and the temperature of weather information. It is also possible to set height and position information manually if you want to record at a pre-fixed location.

Track atmospheric pressure and predict weather changes using your device's built-in barometer. Pascal transforms your iPhone and Apple Watch into precision barometric instruments. Monitor pressure trends, receive storm warnings, and get weather predictions — all computed on-device with no internet required. FEATURES • Real-time pressure monitoring with 12-hour trend charts • On-device weather forecasting using the Zambretti algorithm • Storm alerts via push notifications • Live Activities showing pressure on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Flight mode with cabin altitude tracking • iOS widgets (small, medium, large) and Apple Watch complications • Hybrid calibration system for accurate readings PRIVACY FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. Location is used only for GPS altitude calibration and is never stored. TECHNICAL Pascal uses Apple's Core Motion framework to access the barometric sensor, delivering sub-Pascal resolution. The hybrid calibration system combines GPS altitude with relative altitude tracking to filter out elevation changes and surface true weather signals.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pascal Barometer at 5.0 against Barometer's 3.7. Pascal Barometer also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). Barometer's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barometer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Pascal Barometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pascal Barometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barometer has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Barometer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pascal Barometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Barometer ships an update every 5 days, Pascal Barometer daily. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
