# Safety tips vs The Thermometer

The clearest difference is rating: The Thermometer at 4.7 against Safety tips's 2.1. The Thermometer also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 17%) and ratings volume (596 vs 18). Safety tips's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

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

The Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Thermometer has 596 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Safety tips's written reviews are positive against 54% of The Thermometer's.

Safety tips ships an update fortnightly, The Thermometer every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
