Verdict
Kevo and Level Home both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 46% of Level Home's written reviews are positive against 25% of Kevo's. Level Home also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Kevo's advantage is ratings volume (27K vs 730) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
