Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bayit Home at 4.7 against StarEye's 3.0. Bayit Home also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (794 vs 18). StarEye's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
