Verdict

The call

EMBER Smart Heating Control's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (52% vs 31%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myenergi holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myenergi has 66 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of EMBER Smart Heating Control's written reviews are positive against 31% of myenergi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EMBER Smart Heating Control ships an update every 2 months, myenergi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
