With the Cloud Manager application we can configure our GSM, IP and WIFI / Bluetooth control devices, create custom control icons on the screen of our phone or within the application, which we can operate via WIFI, Bluetooth and mobile internet. The icons can be completely tailored to our taste, as we can customize the names, icons and colors of the buttons. The Bluetooth control icon also shows the MAC number of the device for easier identification. Both the connection between your phone and the device, and creating icons are very easy, as we get a short description of each process, which guides us step by step through the necessary settings. The set up process is aided by pre-set parameters - in the form of a choice - from which makes the whole setting up easier. When you open the application, all control buttons are visible for the previously registered modules. The icon next to the available devices with an active connection (SIM / Cloud / BT) will turn green once the connection is established. You can choose between light and dark patterns for the usual phone settings. After the registration, our GSM, IP or Bluetooth module can also be accessed and controlled via the website www.ascloudmanager.com. In addition to the settings, you can also access statistics and manage users.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cloud Manager at none against Recognize's 1. Recognize's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
