Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MetLog at none against Hygrometer's 2. MetLog also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Hygrometer's advantage is chart position (#122 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
