Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WiZ Connected at 4.5 against Intellimote's 1.9. WiZ Connected also leads on ratings volume (42K vs 10) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). Intellimote's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intellimote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and WiZ Connected sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WiZ Connected holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WiZ Connected has 42K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Intellimote's written reviews are positive against 28% of WiZ Connected's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Intellimote ships an update every 2 months, WiZ Connected every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
