# Temperature Lite vs Live Weather Update

The clearest difference is rating: Live Weather Update at 4.9 against Temperature Lite's 3.1. Live Weather Update also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and update cadence (every 10 days 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, ratings volume, 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 Live Weather Update sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Live Weather Update holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 16 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Temperature Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Live Weather Update's.
