Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dekala at none against Thermometer's 1. Dekala also leads on ads (none vs shown). Thermometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 400). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support 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. Thermometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dekala asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Thermometer against 4.4 for Dekala. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermometer has 4.2K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 30% of Thermometer's written reviews are positive against 29% of Dekala's.
Thermometer ships an update every 2 months, Dekala every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
