2026 verdict
The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring wins this smart plug comparison decisively, coming in cheaper, higher rated, and longer warrantied (1.5 years versus 1) while adding real energy monitoring, listed overheat and overload protection, and Bluetooth alongside Wi-Fi that the Meross does not have. The Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug keeps one clear draw: it splits into two independently switchable outlets and reaches a wider set of platforms, adding Apple HomeKit and SmartThings where the Govee sticks to Google Home, Alexa and IFTTT. Both are indoor-only plugs. Pick the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring for the better-value plug that tracks power and protects against overload; pick the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug if you specifically need two separate outlets or Apple HomeKit.
