# Splash° vs The Thermometer

The clearest difference is rating: The Thermometer at 4.7 against Splash°'s 3.3. The Thermometer also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (564 vs 4). Splash°'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Thermometer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Splash° asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Thermometer has 564 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Splash°'s written reviews are positive against 54% of The Thermometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Splash° ships an update every 11 months, The Thermometer monthly. The most recent releases landed on July 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
