Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eero wifi system at 4.8 against M1 Touch Cloud's 3.8. eero wifi system also leads on ratings volume (207K vs 11) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). M1 Touch Cloud's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. eero wifi system sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and M1 Touch Cloud sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
eero wifi system holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eero wifi system has 207K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of eero wifi system's written reviews are positive against 71% of M1 Touch Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
eero wifi system ships an update every 2 weeks, M1 Touch Cloud every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
