# Night Vision vs Thermography Camera

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Thermography Camera at none against Night Vision's 2. Thermography Camera also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18). Night Vision's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Vision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Thermography Camera asks for nothing beyond the download.

Night Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Vision has 517 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Night Vision's written reviews are positive against 13% of Thermography Camera's.

Night Vision ships an update fortnightly, Thermography Camera every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
