Your smart home runs on a mesh you can't see. Threadlytics measures it. Thread routers promote and demote themselves, devices sleep and wake, links strengthen and fade — and when something says "No Response," most apps just show you a list. Threadlytics is the instrument: it reads the diagnostics your Matter and Thread devices already publish and turns them into grades, maps, and answers. It complements the Home app; it does not replace it. WHAT IT MEASURES • Mesh health, graded — border-router coverage, routing depth, link quality, and partition state resolved into plain-language grades instead of raw counters. • Per-device health scores — stability, reachability, and CSA certification, each with the evidence behind it. • Topology you can walk — an interactive network map in 2D and 3D, a hierarchy tree, the fabrics your devices belong to, and the full protocol path for any single device. • Weak links — which device drops frames to which neighbor, and at what signal strength, so you know what to move. • Border routers as first-class devices — your HomePods, Apple TVs, and hubs appear with their Thread role, so you can see who is actually carrying your mesh. ONE DEVICE, ONE IDENTITY The same physical device shows up under a different name in every app you own. Threadlytics matches records across Apple Home, Matter, Home Assistant, and SmartThings using stable hardware identifiers — never name guessing — so your device list shows your devices, not your ecosystems' copies of them. Anything it cannot match with confidence stays separate, and the app says so. ASK ABOUT YOUR OWN HOUSE The built-in assistant runs on your device and answers only from your latest scan — not from the internet, and not from a guess about smart homes in general. When an answer uses your home data it says so, and it names the devices it drew on. (Requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence.) SIRI & SHORTCUTS "What needs attention in Threadlytics?" Ask Siri for your home health score, the devices needing attention, or what changed since your last scan — without opening the app. In the Shortcuts app, your devices are first-class objects with score, grade, reachability, and transport. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No sign-up. Analysis happens on your device and your data stays there. Apple Home, Thread, and Matter work entirely locally; Home Assistant and SmartThings are opt-in enhancements you can ignore forever. Local-only mode is a first-class mode, not a setting buried three screens deep. Exports are yours: CSV, JSON, and Markdown, with an Anonymize switch for sharing. THREADLYTICS PREMIUM (optional subscription) The free app is complete: scanning, grades, maps, correlation, the assistant, and data exports. Premium adds Home History — score trends, saved snapshots, and a "what changed" feed beyond the free 7-day window — plus network exports (the map as an image, the Tree and Fabrics pages as reports) and priority support. First month free; cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Works with the devices you already own — no hub, no extra hardware, nothing to buy. Requires iOS 26 or later.

ThreadMapper shows what your Thread smart home says about itself. Most Thread devices are invisible. They just work, until they don't, and there's no way to tell which one dropped, which border routers you really have, or whether a quiet sensor is asleep or gone. WHAT YOU GET • Network health at a glance: an A–F grade with a clear score, and the specific issues pulling it down • Better than yesterday? A line under the grade saying whether today is up or down on yesterday, and which rule moved it • Every battery in one list, emptiest first, with the room • Your Thread devices, apart from the rest: the ones that say they are on Thread, and every other accessory labelled for what it is, behind a bridge or not yet known • Mesh map: your Thread devices by room, and the links they report • Offline alerts that respect quiet: a sleepy sensor gets two hours before it is called offline, and devices that go quiet together are one event • Device history: uptime, reboots and firmware changes • Apple Watch app: your grade on your wrist • Home-screen widget and Live Activity for at-a-glance status HONEST ABOUT ITS DATA ThreadMapper shows only what a device or the network states. A device is Thread when it says so. A border router is one the network proves. A line on the map is a link a device reported. iOS doesn't expose radio signal strength for Thread accessories, so there is no signal figure: a device's page shows how quickly it answered, in milliseconds. The battery level is what each accessory reports about itself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone, and the AI features run on device. Your network data is never uploaded. THREADMAPPER PRO: a one-time purchase, not a subscription • AI Insights on any iPhone, and with Apple Intelligence a Network Assistant and a troubleshooter that reads this device's history, all on device • What the radios say: why a device rebooted, how often it changed parent router, how often a battery device wakes, and how many apps and households can still control it • AR room mapping and X-Ray: scan rooms into a floor plan, place each device where it really is, and see the links your devices report drawn through your real home • Your year on one card, your mesh as a film, and as an A2 poster a print shop will take • A year of daily grades on one calendar, no Apple Intelligence needed, a month of history, weekly reports, and when your home is at its worst • Export every health sample, daily grade and battery reading as CSV or JSON, and import them on a new iPhone • Jobs and evidence sheets: a page for a client showing what a visit changed, and a page per device for a warranty claim • Device groups, multiple homes, scheduled reports and a pinned-devices widget REQUIREMENTS ThreadMapper reads your network through HomeKit, so you'll need a home with at least one Thread border router, such as a HomePod mini or an Apple TV 4K. Border routers are found through Local Network access. The Network Assistant and the troubleshooter need iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable device; AI Insights works on any iPhone. Room scanning needs a Pro-model iPhone with a LiDAR scanner. Want to look around first? Turn on Demo Mode to explore the whole app with a simulated network, no hardware needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Threadlytics at 5.0 against ThreadMapper's 3.0. ThreadMapper's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
