Verdict

The call

Energizer Connect and Home Zone Smart both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 52% of Home Zone Smart's written reviews are positive against 36% of Energizer Connect's. Home Zone Smart also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Energizer Connect's advantage is ratings volume (9.6K vs 731) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
