# USmart Go vs 智美灯控

The clearest difference is rating: USmart Go at 2.7 against 智美灯控's 1.5. USmart Go also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). 智美灯控's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

USmart Go holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 73 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of USmart Go's written reviews are positive against 24% of 智美灯控's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

USmart Go ships an update every 5 days, 智美灯控 every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
