Home Zone Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Home Zone Smart's written reviews are positive against 86% of OPT7 GLOW's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Home Zone Smart ships an update every 6 months, OPT7 GLOW every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
