The Range grilling/kitchen thermometer gives you: precise temperature readings; live temperatures and remote alerts to iOS devices anywhere; Rangefinder temperature guides for meat, candy and beer; and recipe graphs for repeatable results. Use Range with your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad as a leave-in oven thermometer, and get alerts on your other iOS device so you don't have to hover around the kitchen. Kitchen scientists—graph and save temperature data to experiment with your recipe. Or, use Range as an instant-read thermometer and get audio alerts to nudge you when your candy has hit the hard ball stage. • Real-time temperature readings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Weber® iGrill® at 4.7 against Range cooking thermometer's 3.7. Weber® iGrill® also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 11). Range cooking thermometer's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Weber® iGrill® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weber® iGrill® has 30K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Weber® iGrill®'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Range cooking thermometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
