# Fuse vs Hubitat Elevation

The clearest difference is price: Hubitat Elevation at Free against Fuse's $4.99. Hubitat Elevation also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 34). Fuse's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 24%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Hubitat Elevation is free to download; Fuse costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Hubitat Elevation holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hubitat Elevation has 1.2K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Fuse's written reviews are positive against 24% of Hubitat Elevation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fuse ships an update weekly, Hubitat Elevation every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
