Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VeSync at none against Meross's 8. VeSync also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (75K vs 7.8K). Meross's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
