Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iData Pro at none against Xiaomi Home's 10. iData Pro also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Xiaomi Home's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Xiaomi Home sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. iData Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iData Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xiaomi Home has 9.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Xiaomi Home's written reviews are positive against 9% of iData Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Xiaomi Home ships an update weekly, iData Pro every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
