# Xiaomi Home vs Baseus

The clearest difference is rating: Baseus at 4.3 against Xiaomi Home's 3.6. Xiaomi Home's advantage is ratings volume (9.3K vs 319) and chart position (#142 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Xiaomi Home sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Baseus sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Baseus holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xiaomi Home has 9.3K ratings behind it against 319, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Xiaomi Home's written reviews are positive against 25% of Baseus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Xiaomi Home ships an update weekly, Baseus fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
