Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home at 4.5 against Shellbot Home's 3.2. Smart Home also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (6.9K vs 32). Shellbot Home's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home has 6.9K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Shellbot Home'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shellbot Home ships an update every 8 months, Smart Home fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
