Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StarEye at 3.0 against weihome's 1.9. StarEye also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). weihome's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
