Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ewpe Smart at 4.6 against Shelly Smart Control's 3.2. Ewpe Smart also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 82) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Shelly Smart Control's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 32%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Ewpe Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Ewpe Smart's written reviews are positive against 48% of Shelly Smart Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ewpe Smart ships an update monthly, Shelly Smart Control every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
