# Thermometer vs Mold Identifier

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.

Both are free to download. Thermometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mold Identifier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mold Identifier holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermometer has 4.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
