Your smart home's batteries, in one place. LoopJuice helps you keep track of battery-powered accessories in Apple Home. Find devices that need attention, follow battery life and plan your next replacement or recharge. KEEP YOUR HISTORY TOGETHER Turn on optional iCloud sync to combine battery history and maintenance information collected on your iPhone and iPad using the same Apple Account. Your data is stored locally and synced through your private iCloud database. Export and import your saved data, browse stored history and recover available records. Notification and display preferences remain specific to each device. SEE WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION Browse accessories by room or switch to a grid. See clear battery rings with the lowest readings first. Search, mark favorites, hide ignored devices and switch between your Apple homes. Low and Critical views highlight batteries that need attention, including unreachable accessories. Warnings and the optional app icon badge cover all your homes. UNDERSTAND BATTERY LIFE Explore history charts with useful 7-, 30- or 90-day ranges when readings are available. See approximate remaining-life estimates from usable history and indications of unusually fast drain. Charging status is shown when an accessory reports it. REMEMBER REPLACEMENTS AND RECHARGES Record maintenance dates, battery types, quantities, charging methods and notes. Reuse battery details entered for the same manufacturer and model. Compare completed cycles with matching battery types and quantities. Work through a maintenance round on iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, with Undo if needed. WARNINGS THAT FIT YOUR HOME Set a default low-battery threshold or customize it per accessory. Enable battery warnings, silence them for 24 hours or choose Remind me tomorrow for an individual accessory. BATTERIES AT A GLANCE ⢠Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for one, two or multiple accessories. ⢠Battery overview and Running low soon widgets. ⢠Automatic, Lowest batteries, Favorites or specific accessories where supported. ⢠Independent home selection for each widget or opening control. ⢠Apple Watch complications and Smart Stack widgets. ⢠Siri and Shortcuts for checking batteries and attention items. ⢠Control Center opening controls on iOS 18 or later. ⢠An in-app gallery to explore supported widget shapes and sizes. The Apple Watch companion shows the latest information received from your iPhone. Widget availability varies by device and widget type. No LoopJuice account, ads or third-party analytics. Optional iCloud sync uses your own Apple Account. Made for iPhone and iPad with an Apple Watch companion, light and dark appearances, and English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. Requires Apple Home access and accessories that expose battery information through HomeKit. Some report only normal or low status rather than a percentage. Charging information varies by accessory. Estimates are approximate. iOS manages background updates; continuous monitoring is not guaranteed. Warnings depend on available readings, settings and notification permissions. Sync requires iCloud and an internet connection. Available history depends on readings previously saved or synced. Sharing an Apple Home alone does not share LoopJuice history between different Apple Accounts. Stay in control: LoopJuice monitors batteries and does not control your accessories.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: LoopJuice at 3 against My BESS's ā. My BESS's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
