Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NuWave Connect at 4.4 against RainPoint Home's 2.1. NuWave Connect also leads on ratings volume (607 vs 56) and iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.1). RainPoint Home's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (21% vs 13%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NuWave Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuWave Connect has 607 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of NuWave Connect's written reviews are positive against 21% of RainPoint Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NuWave Connect ships an update every 3 months, RainPoint Home every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
