Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Internet & SmartHome+ at 5.0 against Grata's 4.3. Internet & SmartHome+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Grata's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 9%) and ratings volume (395 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Internet & SmartHome+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Grata has 395 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Grata's written reviews are positive against 9% of Internet & SmartHome+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Grata ships an update every 6 days, Internet & SmartHome+ weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
