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.
