# Meross vs Plan & Save

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plan & Save at 100% against Meross's 77%. Meross's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meross sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Plan & Save sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
