# Live Barometer vs Torr

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Live Barometer at none against Torr's 2. Live Barometer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 57%). Torr's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (181 vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Torr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Live Barometer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Torr holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Torr has 181 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Live Barometer's written reviews are positive against 57% of Torr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Live Barometer ships an update fortnightly, Torr every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
