Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kevo at 4.6 against ScreenLogic Connect's 2.2. Kevo also leads on ratings volume (27K vs 234). ScreenLogic Connect's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
