Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Generac Go at 5.0 against My Leviton's 4.6. Generac Go also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). My Leviton's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
