Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jiffy at 34% against Internet & SmartHome+'s 7%. Jiffy also leads on ratings volume (390 vs 7). Internet & SmartHome+'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Internet & SmartHome+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jiffy has 390 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Jiffy's written reviews are positive against 7% of Internet & SmartHome+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jiffy ships an update every 2 weeks, Internet & SmartHome+ weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
