# Temperature Lite vs Thermometer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Temperature Lite at 60% against Thermometer's 17%. Temperature Lite also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). Thermometer's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, 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 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thermometer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thermometer has 49 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Temperature Lite's written reviews are positive against 17% of Thermometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Temperature Lite ships an update every 3 months, Thermometer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
