It seems this compares favorably to FLIR, in terms of resolution. Better thermal image detail, but purely thermal imagery rather than FLIR's overlay of thermal over hi-res optical images. Reviews seem very mixed on seek's software, and this device relies on the app to be usable.
The list of supported devices, outside of iOS, is somewhat limited, but I see the Pixel line is on there now:

There is a guy who developed open source software to use the seek thermal camera:

read through the amazon reviews -- apart from the sw complaints, there's also some reliability concerns from some reviewers. On the other hand, the thermal image examples do seem pretty good.
The main reviews I've seen are:

Also, there are various youtube reviews that show comparisons
The Micro USB version is quite a good deal because you can get a USB-OTG supported USB-C to Micro USB adapter to use it on your newer phones. Works perfect for me. Cannot speak for Apple side but I kind of think it would be a similar situation. (Edited: wrong item link was provided so removed)
Function wise, it works just as good as FLIR. One thing to notice is that FLIR has the feature to add a layer of edge frame image on top of IR imaging, so it is much easier to reference IR imaging to eye sight image, because in IR image you don't usually see the lines and corners seen on objects you are inspecting. For me there's no problem so I rather unlike the FLIR's feature. But I would recommend people unfamiliar with IR imaging to get FLIR because of this.
Besides that, Seek works just as good as FLIR. Spec wise it has slightly better resolution compared to similar product. But it does not really makes a huge difference in usage.
So I would say the biggest advantage here is the price and more compact size. Would recommend this to friends and family.

Note that some of these adapters don't work well so check reviews first.)
