# Pace vs Thermometer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pace at 100% against Thermometer's 32%. Pace also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Thermometer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (407 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thermometer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Pace asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermometer has 407 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Pace's written reviews are positive against 32% of Thermometer's.

Pace ships an update every 9 months, Thermometer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
