# Hygrometer vs Humidity Free

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 (#120 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Humidity Free holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hygrometer has 6.1K ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of Humidity Free's.
