Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wi at 5.0 against VTi HomeMate's 2.0. Wi also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). VTi HomeMate's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and ratings volume (22 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VTi HomeMate has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of VTi HomeMate's written reviews are positive against 0% of Wi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VTi HomeMate ships an update every 7 months, Wi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
