Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YI Home at 4.3 against YCC365 Plus's 2.3. YI Home also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 1.8K) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). YCC365 Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
