2026 verdict
Ecosystem breadth decides this one, and the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is the smart plug that wins it.
It reaches Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant directly over Matter, with a lower price, a longer warranty and built-in energy monitoring, none of which the Amazon Smart Plug offers. The Amazon Smart Plug counters with a higher owner rating and about the simplest setup a smart plug offers, living entirely inside the Alexa app with nothing else to install. The two also use different outlets, Type B for 120 V against Type F for 230 V, so only one is even wired for your wall. Choose the Amazon Smart Plug if Alexa on a 120 V outlet is all you need, and the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug for a 230 V home that wants to move freely between ecosystems and see its energy costs.

What owners say
Owners of the Amazon Smart Plug mention how often it goes on sale, buying two or three at that price to cover a Christmas tree, a bedside lamp and a fan without much thought, and they report automations and Alexa routines keep firing correctly week after week with no re-pairing needed. The frustration when it surfaces is about ecosystem lock-in: buyers who also own an iPhone or a Google speaker describe the awkwardness of asking one assistant to control a plug that only understands Alexa, and a few wish it did more than switch power, since there is no way to see what the appliance behind it is using.
