Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Renon Smart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeGrid Energy has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HomeGrid Energy's written reviews are positive against 0% of Renon Smart'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 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
