Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Govee sites.
2026 verdict
The Aqara Smart Plug (US) is the more capable smart plug in this pairing, adding energy monitoring, a higher 1875W maximum load, a broader integration list and Zigbee router functionality that the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro lacks.
Govee's plug counters as the value pick: it is the more affordable, tiny Wi-Fi outlet with no hub required, a longer 1.5-year warranty, and both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in. Both are Type B plugs with overheat/overload protection, but only the Aqara tracks energy use and only the Aqara supports Apple HomeKit, while the Govee skips HomeKit and energy monitoring. Choose the Aqara Smart Plug (US) if you want energy data, HomeKit and Zigbee mesh extension; choose the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro if you want a cheap, compact, hub-free Wi-Fi plug with a longer warranty for simple control.
