Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wemo at 4.0 against Traxx it's 2.1. Wemo also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (117K vs 87). Traxx it's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 117K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 14% of Traxx it's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wemo ships an update every 2 months, Traxx it every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
