# iSee Home vs YI Smart

The clearest difference is rating: iSee Home at 2.5 against YI Smart's 1.8. iSee Home also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). YI Smart's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iSee Home sells 31 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and YI Smart sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
