With this application you can set up and control Shelly Smart Home devices. The application can connect to the Shelly Cloud via a Shelly user account. All existing functions, however, can also be used completely without an internet connection. If you are in the local network, the devices communicate directly. Outside the local network, this is done via a Shelly user account. Updates can be easily distributed to the Shelly devices via smartphone. For this, they don't even need an internet connection. This is a private project and will be developed and improved by me as much as possible. Since I don't own all Shelly devices, some are not supported here. I am very happy about constructive feedback and suggestions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shelly Home at 88% against Raindrop.io's 64%. Shelly Home also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). Raindrop.io's advantage is ratings volume (425 vs 10) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). 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. Raindrop.io sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Shelly Home sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Raindrop.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raindrop.io has 425 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Raindrop.io's written reviews are positive against 88% of Shelly Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
