Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home at 4.5 against AC Freedom's 1.5. Smart Home also leads on ratings volume (8K vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). AC Freedom's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and iOS requirement 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. Smart Home sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. AC Freedom asks for nothing beyond the download.
Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home has 8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of AC Freedom's written reviews are positive against 5% of Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AC Freedom ships an update every 2 months, Smart Home fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
