Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: A3 Smart Home at 4.6 against EverLights's 3.0. A3 Smart Home also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 112). EverLights's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
A3 Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: A3 Smart Home has 1.8K ratings behind it against 112, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of EverLights's written reviews are positive against 29% of A3 Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EverLights ships an update every 3 weeks, A3 Smart Home every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
