Aqara Smart Plug (EU) vs Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug comparison

Updated April 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

The Aqara Smart Plug (EU) is the clear winner here as a smart plug, carrying a higher owner rating, a lower price, energy monitoring, overheat/overload protection, a broader integration list and Zigbee router functionality that the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug simply does not offer. Meross's plug has its own appeal as a budget dual-outlet unit: it packs two independently switchable outlets into one hub-free 2.4GHz Wi-Fi body and works with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings, which is handy for controlling two nearby devices separately. But it has no energy monitoring and no listed overheat/overload protection, while the Aqara tracks daily and monthly usage and also acts as a Zigbee router. Pick the Aqara Smart Plug (EU) for energy data, safety protection and mesh extension; pick the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug if you want two independently controlled outlets on the cheap with no hub.
