→ Take control of your home energy use, in real time. Sense turns your home's electrical activity into real-time insight, so you can use energy more efficiently, spend less, and stay ahead of your electric bill. → Save energy. Save money. Most people only find out what they used once the bill arrives, when it’s too late to change anything. Sense shows you how much energy your home is using right now and how this month compares with the last, straight from your phone. You’ll see what’s driving your bill, get tips that fit your home, and start reacting less and planning more. → Find your home’s energy hogs. Minimize what you waste. A lot of devices in your home draw power even when they're off: some by design, some because they've grown less efficient over time. Sense helps you find what's quietly running in the background, so you can decide what's worth unplugging, fixing, or replacing. → Get real-time notifications. Keep your home running the way it should. Peace of mind starts with knowing. Worried about heavy rain? Get notified if your sump pump stops running. Forgot the oven was on? Sense will tell you.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PawPrinter at 100% against Sense Home's 39%. PawPrinter also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sense Home's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sense Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sense Home has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Sense Home's written reviews are positive against 100% of PawPrinter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sense Home ships an update fortnightly, PawPrinter every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
