Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Leviton at 84% against Wemo's 7%. My Leviton also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Wemo's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (117K vs 6.2K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
