Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Roomba Home at 4.7 against Aiper's 4.1. Roomba Home also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 267) and review sentiment (68% vs 47%). Aiper's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
