It switches up to 2300W against 1200W, tracks daily and monthly consumption and works as a Zigbee router that strengthens the mesh for other sensors.

Both have overheat and overload protection, a physical button and Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant support.

What the differences mean

Plug type and region

The Aqara Smart Plug (EU) is a Type F plug for European sockets, the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro a Type B plug for 120 V North American outlets, so your wall decides before any feature does.

Energy monitoring

Only the Aqara records consumption, with daily and monthly history. The Govee Pro switches power without measuring it.

Load rating

2300W against 1200W: the Aqara can take a kettle or a small heater, the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro is meant for lamps, fans and small appliances.

Hub

The Aqara has only a Zigbee radio and always needs a hub or coordinator, and it repeats the Zigbee mesh. The Govee connects straight to Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth for setup, and needs nothing else.

Matter and SmartThings

The Govee supports Matter and SmartThings directly; the Aqara reaches both through an Aqara hub.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both plugs describe reliable switching that holds up over long daily use, and both groups set them up quickly, in Home Assistant or a hub for the Aqara and the Govee app for the Govee. What they praise differs. Aqara Smart Plug (EU) owners single out energy monitoring they actually use to watch appliances and bills, and the way the plug strengthens the Zigbee mesh for their sensors, while they complain that its housing crowds neighbouring sockets and its LED cannot be turned off. GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro owners love the compact round body that leaves the second outlet free and the near-instant voice control, and they mention an audible relay click, no energy monitoring and an app that is clunky for complex automations.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
