Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UiHome at none against YI Home's 10. UiHome also leads on ads (none vs shown). YI Home's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
