Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home at 4.5 against MELD's 3.0. Smart Home also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 2) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). MELD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Home sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. MELD asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home has 8.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Smart Home ships an update fortnightly, MELD weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
