Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NetHome Plus at 4.8 against Pebble Air's 2.4. NetHome Plus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (14K vs 5). Pebble Air's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. Pebble Air sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. NetHome Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.
NetHome Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetHome Plus has 14K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Pebble Air'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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
