# CloudEdge vs Kami Home

CloudEdge and Kami Home both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 17% of Kami Home's. CloudEdge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). Kami Home's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks).
