Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Thermometer at 4.4 against bluSensor's 1.0. Thermometer also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 5). bluSensor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
