Thanks to Smart Gateway APP the management of the home automation system is simple and intuitive, with the ability to remotely control lighting, blinds and shutters, scenarios, temperature and humidity in every room, anti-intrusion system and video cameras. The new Gewiss APP also allows you to check the energy consumption of your home at any time, as well as setting timers, logic functions, load control and irrigation. In order to work, the APP requires the presence of a Gewiss Smart Gateway connected to the home automation system and the payment of an annual fee. The APP configuration is made using the online GEWISS IoT Configurator software, which can be accessed visiting gewiss.com in the "Services/Software/Smart Gateway APP" section.”

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart Gateway App at 3.0 against Yoolax Home's 1.7. Smart Gateway App also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Yoolax Home's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (65 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Smart Gateway App holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yoolax Home has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Smart Gateway App's written reviews are positive against 21% of Yoolax Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Smart Gateway App ships an update every 3 months, Yoolax Home every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
