Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Home + Control at monthly against SmartCONTROL WiFi's every 3 months. SmartCONTROL WiFi's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SmartCONTROL WiFi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 422 and 138 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of SmartCONTROL WiFi's written reviews are positive against 43% of Home + Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartCONTROL WiFi ships an update every 3 months, Home + Control monthly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
