# Thermo vs Anemometer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thermo at 77% against Anemometer's 18%. Thermo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). Anemometer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Thermo costs $3.99 and Anemometer $4.99 up front. Anemometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Thermo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Anemometer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermo has 1.9K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Thermo's written reviews are positive against 18% of Anemometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Thermo ships an update every 10 days, Anemometer every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
