Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Atmosphérique at 100 against Celsius 2's 3. Celsius 2's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Atmosphérique sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Celsius 2 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Celsius 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Atmosphérique has 100 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Atmosphérique ships an update every 4 months, Celsius 2 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
