Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Home at 4.6 against Innr's 1.6. Google Home also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.4M vs 8). Innr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
