Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IoT MQTT Panel Pro at 90% against Renogy's 11%. IoT MQTT Panel Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). Renogy's advantage is price (Free vs $12.99) and ratings volume (806 vs 14). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
