# QianLi IR vs Thermal Effect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QianLi IR at 100% against Thermal Effect's 22%. QianLi IR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Thermal Effect's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (158 vs 3). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thermal Effect sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. QianLi IR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Thermal Effect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermal Effect has 158 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of QianLi IR's written reviews are positive against 22% of Thermal Effect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
