GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro vs Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) comparison

Updated July 2026

Data from Amazon and official Govee and Meross sites.

2026 verdict

For everyday indoor use, the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro takes this smart plug comparison, winning on price, a higher owner rating, listed overheat and overload protection, and the flexibility of both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (the Meross is Wi-Fi only). The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) is built for a job the Govee cannot do, though: an IP44 weatherproof body with three separately controllable outlets for string lights, inflatables and a fountain, plus a higher 1800W maximum load versus 1200W. Neither plug tracks energy. Pick the GoveeLife Smart Plug Pro for a cheap, well-reviewed indoor plug with wide platform support including Matter; pick the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) when you have several outdoor loads to switch independently and need weather protection.
