Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aero Control at none against YI Home's 10. Aero Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). YI Home's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and chart position (#139 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
