# @Thermometer vs HD Thermometer ⊎

The clearest difference is review sentiment: @Thermometer at 75% against HD Thermometer ⊎'s 37%. @Thermometer also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). HD Thermometer ⊎'s advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 224) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. @Thermometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and HD Thermometer ⊎ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

@Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HD Thermometer ⊎ has 13K ratings behind it against 224, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of @Thermometer's written reviews are positive against 37% of HD Thermometer ⊎'s.
