Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PLC Smart Home at none against Modbus TCP Station's 2. PLC Smart Home also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). Modbus TCP Station's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
