TSUN Smart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Deye Cloud's written reviews are positive against 18% of TSUN Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Deye Cloud ships an update every 2 weeks, TSUN Smart every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
