Eve Energy (EU) vs Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug comparison

Updated April 2026

Data from Amazon and official Eve and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

The Eve Energy (EU) wins this smart plug comparison, adding built-in energy monitoring and a broader integration list, including native Matter over Thread, that the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug does not offer. Meross still has a genuine draw: it is the more affordable option, it splits into two independently controllable outlets from a single plug, and it pairs directly over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with no hub. The two also target different regions, the Eve is a Type F Schuko plug for Europe, while the Meross is a Type B unit for North America with no energy monitoring. Both work with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Choose the Eve Energy (EU) for energy tracking and Thread and Matter reliability; choose the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug for a cheaper dual-outlet plug that controls two devices independently.
