# Hygrometer vs Humidity

The clearest difference is rating: Hygrometer at 4.7 against Humidity's 3.8. Hygrometer also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 67 months) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 203). Humidity's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hygrometer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Humidity asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hygrometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hygrometer has 6.1K ratings behind it against 203, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Hygrometer's written reviews are positive against 52% of Humidity's.

Hygrometer ships an update every 5 weeks, Humidity every 67 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
