home-IOT PRO(家庭物聯網）是WiFly-City台灣無線城自主研發的新一代物聯網智慧家居安防系統增強版。一體化的設計將智慧家電控制/警報安防系統/環境溫控系統及遠程視頻監控高度集成在單一IPCAM主機上(IPC-9860MA)。不僅大幅降低安裝成本與使用的複雜性，並有效提升系統的穩定性。與一般的智慧家居方案有明顯的成本及使用簡便上的優勢；獨特的全智能安防與智慧家居間的情境聯動設計更打破了傳統安防與智慧家居系統相互獨立無法有效整合的門檻。將這些各自獨立的安防監控系統與智慧家居體系合而為一，實現了最完善的綠能情境控制及安防報警聯動的使用方案。 home-IOT PRO(家庭物聯網）系統高度集成且功能強大，但藉由簡單友善的使用方式,讓所有使用的用戶都能以最低成本及最高的性價比,輕鬆享受全新的物聯網時代所帶來的舒適、安全、便利與綠色環保的生活環境!!

The clearest difference is update cadence: Home at fortnightly against Join's every 2 months. Home also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
