# Carrier SmartHome vs Pebble

The clearest difference is rating: Pebble at 5.0 against Carrier SmartHome's 3.5. Carrier SmartHome's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Pebble holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carrier SmartHome has 2.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Carrier SmartHome ships an update fortnightly, Pebble every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
