# HD Thermometer ⊎ vs The Thermometer

The clearest difference is rating: The Thermometer at 4.7 against HD Thermometer ⊎'s 4.3. The Thermometer also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 37%). HD Thermometer ⊎'s advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 564) and chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HD Thermometer ⊎ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and The Thermometer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HD Thermometer ⊎ has 13K ratings behind it against 564, so its average is the more settled of the two.
