Aqara Smart Plug (US) vs Govee Smart Plug Pro comparison

Updated July 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Govee Life 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 Govee 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 Govee Smart Plug Pro if you want a cheap, compact, hub-free Wi-Fi plug with a longer warranty for simple control.
