Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Aqara Home at 7.7K against EVSEMaster's 4. Aqara Home also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 23%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). EVSEMaster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EVSEMaster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aqara Home has 7.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Aqara Home's written reviews are positive against 23% of EVSEMaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aqara Home ships an update every 2 weeks, EVSEMaster every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
