# Q vs Sky Smart Home

The clearest difference is rating: Sky Smart Home at 4.0 against Q's 1.9. Sky Smart Home also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Q's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Sky Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Q's written reviews are positive against 13% of Sky Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Q ships an update every 3 months, Sky Smart Home monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
