Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wemo at 4.0 against iDevices Connected's 2.2. Wemo also leads on ratings volume (117K vs 329). iDevices Connected's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 117K ratings behind it against 329, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 22% of iDevices Connected's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
