WiZ Pro Setup app is the latest addition to the WiZ Pro Software suite dedicated for installers. The app leverages some technical capabilities of recent WiZ Pro products in order to initiate commissioning, do some testing and even have lamps obey accessories commands for simple scenarios even before Wi-Fi is deployed, or fully offsite. Then, after the lights have connected to the Wi-Fi, they can be fully controlled using WiZ Pro Dashboard and WiZ app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Home Linking at 2.0 against WiZ Pro Setup's 1.4. WiZ Pro Setup's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (25% vs 16%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Linking sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. WiZ Pro Setup asks for nothing beyond the download.
Home Linking holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 45 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Home Linking's written reviews are positive against 25% of WiZ Pro Setup's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Home Linking ships an update every 2 months, WiZ Pro Setup every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
