Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Weiser at 39% against Internet & SmartHome+'s 9%. Weiser also leads on ratings volume (87 vs 2). Internet & SmartHome+'s advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 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.
Internet & SmartHome+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weiser has 87 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Weiser's written reviews are positive against 9% of Internet & SmartHome+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Weiser ships an update every 3 months, Internet & SmartHome+ weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
