# Temperature Lite vs Thermometer

The clearest difference is rating: Thermometer at 4.7 against Temperature Lite's 3.1. Thermometer also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Temperature Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temperature Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Thermometer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 29 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Temperature Lite's written reviews are positive against 81% of Thermometer's.
