Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Humidity Free at 100% against Hygrometer's 53%. Humidity Free also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). Hygrometer's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 2) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
