# Thermometer vs The Thermometer

Thermometer and The Thermometer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Thermometer's written reviews are positive against 54% of The Thermometer's. The Thermometer's advantage is ratings volume (564 vs 28). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thermometer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and The Thermometer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Thermometer against 4.7 for The Thermometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Thermometer has 564 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Thermometer's written reviews are positive against 54% of The Thermometer's.

Thermometer ships an update every 5 weeks, The Thermometer monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
