Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meross at 77% against Kuled's 27%. Meross also leads on ratings volume (7.9K vs 225) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Kuled's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
