Aqara Smart Plug (US) vs Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60

Full Smart Plugs comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Sonoff sites.
2026 verdict
The Aqara Smart Plug (US) takes this comparison on ecosystem strength, holding a better owner rating, reaching Apple HomeKit and Matter as well as Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, and acting as a Zigbee router so each plug repeats the signal for battery sensors and switches elsewhere in the house. In a Zigbee home it makes the whole network more reliable rather than just adding one controllable socket. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 answers with muscle and simplicity: it handles up to 4000W against 1875W, which covers heaters, kettles and workshop tools that the Aqara's rating rules out, and it joins Wi-Fi directly with Bluetooth for setup, so there is no hub to buy. Choose the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 for high-draw appliances or a hub-free installation, and the Aqara Smart Plug (US) for HomeKit and Matter support plus a stronger Zigbee mesh.
