Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home Manager at 4.8 against BlockedTrax's 2.6. Smart Home Manager also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (490K vs 5). BlockedTrax's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Home Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home Manager has 490K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Smart Home Manager's written reviews are positive against 50% of BlockedTrax's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
