Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: StellarVision at Free against HomeDash's $14.99. StellarVision also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). HomeDash's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
