Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Splash° at 75% against Sea Water Temperature's 17%. Splash° also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Sea Water Temperature's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sea Water Temperature sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Splash° asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sea Water Temperature holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sea Water Temperature has 76 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Splash°'s written reviews are positive against 17% of Sea Water Temperature's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Splash° ships an update every 13 months, Sea Water Temperature fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
