Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Home Temperature Logger at none against Thermometer's 1. Home Temperature Logger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Thermometer's advantage is review sentiment (30% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
