# My Home Controller vs M.Connected Home™

The clearest difference is rating: M.Connected Home™ at 4.5 against My Home Controller's 2.8. M.Connected Home™ also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 11) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). My Home Controller's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (38% vs 7%). 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.

M.Connected Home™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: M.Connected Home™ has 3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of My Home Controller's written reviews are positive against 7% of M.Connected Home™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Home Controller ships an update every 4 months, M.Connected Home™ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
