Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sky Smart Home at 4.0 against Metaura's 3.4. Sky Smart Home also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Metaura's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2) and review sentiment (22% vs 13%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Sky Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metaura has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Metaura's written reviews are positive against 13% of Sky Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Metaura ships an update every 2 weeks, Sky Smart Home monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
