Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cuby Smart at 100% against NetHome Plus's 30%. NetHome Plus's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 11) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, 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.
NetHome Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetHome Plus has 14K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cuby Smart's written reviews are positive against 30% of NetHome Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cuby Smart ships an update every 6 weeks, NetHome Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
