Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: amaysim at every 4 weeks against Laser SmartHome's every 11 months. amaysim also leads on ratings volume (772 vs 1) and review sentiment (53% vs 31%). Laser SmartHome's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Laser SmartHome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: amaysim has 772 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of amaysim's written reviews are positive against 31% of Laser SmartHome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
amaysim ships an update every 4 weeks, Laser SmartHome every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
