Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yi iot at 3.1 against V360 Pro's 1.4. Yi iot also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 37) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). V360 Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (29% vs 5%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Yi iot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and V360 Pro sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yi iot holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yi iot has 5K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Yi iot's written reviews are positive against 29% of V360 Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Yi iot ships an update every 2 weeks, V360 Pro every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
