Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Renogy holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Renogy has 799 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Renogy's written reviews are positive against 18% of SmarTemp 3.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Renogy ships an update every 2 weeks, SmarTemp 3.0 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
