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

Updated September 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

The Aqara Smart Plug (US) is the more feature-rich smart plug here, winning on owner rating, energy monitoring, overheat/overload protection, a broader integration list and Zigbee router functionality that the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug does not provide. Meross answers with a lower price and a genuinely useful trick: two independently switchable outlets in one hub-free 2.4GHz Wi-Fi body, ideal for controlling two nearby devices separately, and it works with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. But it has no energy monitoring and no listed overheat/overload protection, while the Aqara tracks daily and monthly usage and doubles as a Zigbee router. Both are Type B for North American outlets. Choose the Aqara Smart Plug (US) for energy data, safety protection and mesh extension; choose the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug for an affordable dual-outlet plug with no hub.
