2026 verdict
The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug wins this smart plug comparison against the Amazon Smart Plug wherever the socket sits outside: its IP44 weatherproof housing, wider integrations covering Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa and Samsung SmartThings, and a physical on/off button all outclass an indoor-only, Alexa-exclusive plug. The Amazon Smart Plug keeps the edge on typical price and owner rating, and it is still the fastest plug here to set up for a household that only uses Alexa. What tips this pair further toward the Meross is versatility outdoors specifically: its two independently switched outlets suit holiday lighting or a garden device on separate schedules, and HomeKit users can even run it fully locally through an Apple TV hub with no internet connection required. Neither plug adds energy monitoring, and both rely on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi rather than a hub. Choose the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug for any outdoor lighting or device that needs weatherproofing and multi-platform control; choose the Amazon Smart Plug only for a simple, budget indoor setup inside an all-Alexa home.
