Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Helena at 100% against mySolarEdge's 31%. My Helena also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). mySolarEdge's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 18 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
mySolarEdge holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mySolarEdge has 19K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of My Helena's written reviews are positive against 31% of mySolarEdge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Helena ships an update every 18 months, mySolarEdge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
