Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartThermal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively.

SmartThermal ships an update every 6 weeks, Thermal imaging every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
