Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fansio at none against Smart Home's 12. Fansio also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (17% vs 5%). Smart Home's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (7.8K vs 97). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Smart Home sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Fansio asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home has 7.8K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Fansio's written reviews are positive against 5% of Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fansio ships an update every 11 months, Smart Home fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
