Verdict

The call

Progress and Sky Smart Home both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Progress's written reviews are positive against 15% of Sky Smart Home's. Progress also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). Sky Smart Home's advantage is price (Free vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
