GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring vs Meross Outdoor Smart Plug comparison

Updated July 2026

Data from Amazon and official GoveeLife and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring wins this smart plug comparison, combining a lower price and a higher owner rating with features the Meross lacks: real energy monitoring, listed overheat and overload protection, and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios (the Meross is Wi-Fi only). The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug earns its keep on the things the indoor Govee cannot do, an IP44 weatherproof housing with two independently controllable outlets and a wider integration list spanning Google Home, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Both handle up to 1800W. Buy the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring for an affordable indoor plug that tracks power draw; buy the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug when the outlet is outside and you need weather protection and dual outlets.
