Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mold Identifier at 5.0 against Thermometer's 4.4. Mold Identifier also leads on ads (none vs shown). Thermometer's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
