It also works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, and reaches Apple Home and Matter through a SONOFF bridge, so it covers more platforms than the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring. The Govee plug is the smaller and lighter of the two, is the better reviewed and carries an 18-month warranty, and it meters consumption in the Govee app with no bridge. Both are metering plugs and both need a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, but only one is built for a washer, a dryer or a heater. Choose by region and by load.

What the differences mean

Plug format and region

The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is a North American Type B plug at 120 V, and the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is a European Type F plug at 250 V. They are not interchangeable, so the region decides before the specs do. A European buyer cannot use the Govee plug, and a North American buyer cannot use the Sonoff S60 as sold.

Load rating

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is rated for 16 A and 4000 W, the highest of the pair, which is what makes it suitable for a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher or a heater. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring handles 15 A and 1800 W, plenty for a lamp or a moderate appliance but not for the heaviest loads.

Energy data

Both plugs meter consumption, but they present it differently. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 keeps daily, monthly and yearly figures in the eWeLink app, while the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring shows real-time draw plus daily and monthly history in the Govee app. Neither one should be picked over the other on the meters alone.

Ecosystems

The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring works with Alexa and Google Home, and with Home Assistant through a community Bluetooth integration, with no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 covers Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, reaches SmartThings through the official eWeLink cloud integration, and adds Apple Home and Matter through a SONOFF bridge.

App and account

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 depends on the eWeLink app and an account for setup, automations and its energy history, and some owners were uncomfortable with its permission and location requests. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring uses the Govee app instead, which owners describe as easy for basic schedules but clumsy for complex automations.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both plugs value energy data and a fast setup, and then the stories diverge. Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 owners praise how calmly it takes heavy loads and how precise its daily, monthly and yearly figures are, and they describe the eWeLink setup as quick; a few raise the app's account and permission prompts, and some found the initial pairing tedious. GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring owners highlight the easy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth setup and the real-time draw they watch in the Govee app, and a minority dislike that app, with one reporting the side button failing while app control kept working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring or Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is the more capable plug, with a 16 A and 4000 W rating for heavy appliances and support for Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, plus Apple Home and Matter through a SONOFF bridge. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is the smaller, better reviewed option with an 18-month warranty, but it tops out at 1800 W and is a North American Type B plug.

What is the biggest difference between the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring and the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

The region and the load rating. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is a 250 V Type F plug rated for 16 A and 4000 W, while the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring is a 120 V Type B plug rated for 15 A and 1800 W. Both monitor energy, so the load and the plug format are what separate them.

How much can the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 switch?

Up to 4000 W and 16 A, enough for a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher or heater. The GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring handles up to 1800 W and 15 A, which is fine for lamps and lighter appliances.

Does the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring work in Europe?

No. It is a North American Type B plug rated for 120 V, so it will not fit a European Schuko socket. For European outlets, the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 is the Type F option of this pair.

Yes. The Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 keeps daily, monthly and yearly figures in the eWeLink app, and the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring shows real-time draw with daily and monthly history in the Govee app.

Who should buy the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring, and who the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60?

Buy the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro with Energy Monitoring for a North American outlet where you want a small metering plug with no bridge. Buy the Sonoff WiFi Smart Plug S60 if you are in Europe and need to schedule and meter a heavy appliance, or want Apple Home and Matter support.
