The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home Controller App at 4.6 against Tris Home's 2.7. Smart Home Controller App also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 426).

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. Smart Home Controller App sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Tris Home asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smart Home Controller App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home Controller App has 3.6K ratings behind it against 426, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Tris Home's written reviews are positive against 18% of Smart Home Controller App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tris Home ships an update every 4 weeks, Smart Home Controller App weekly. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
