# Intellimote vs WiZ Connected

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 (#66 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.

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.

Intellimote ships an update every 2 months, WiZ Connected every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
