Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: i at 2.3 against Smart Home Light Pro's 1.8. i also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Smart Home Light Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
