Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wemo at 4.0 against myTouchSmart's 2.6. Wemo also leads on ratings volume (117K vs 183). myTouchSmart's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, 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 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 117K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 32% of myTouchSmart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
