Indigo Touch is an iPhone and iPad optimized App for remotely controlling lighting, appliances, HVAC, ceiling fans, sprinklers, etc., from anywhere in the world. It will automatically connect to the required Indigo Smart Home Hub software (v7 or newer), installed in your home on a Mac, to communicate with Z-Wave, INSTEON and/or X10 compatible hardware. Additionally, many more devices and protocols are supported via 3rd Party Plugins. Now you can adjust your home's thermostat, run the sprinkler, open the garage door, unlock the front door, and turn off the lights from anywhere you have an internet/data connection! IMPORTANT Controlling your home requires that you have installed the Indigo Smart Home Hub software on your Mac. Indigo is NOT FREE, although there is a 30 day free trial available. See MAC REQUIREMENTS below for more details. For support, please contact us directly using the contact form on our website rather than requesting help via a review.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: FFMC at free against Indigo Touch's free with in-app purchases. FFMC also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Indigo Touch's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
