2026 verdict
These are two versions of the same outdoor smart plug, and the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug edges it here mainly on price.
Both are IP44 weatherproof, Type B, 1800W/15A Wi-Fi plugs with the same integration list (Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, no Matter), the same 2.4GHz-only setup and the same lack of energy monitoring, so the everyday experience is nearly identical. The real dividing line is capacity: the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug offers two independently controllable outlets, while the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) offers three, letting you schedule an extra outdoor load like a fountain pump, string lights and an inflatable all from one plug. Pick the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug if two outlets are enough and you want the more affordable unit; pick the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) if you need to control a third outdoor device independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which should I buy, the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug or the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets)?

Outlet count. The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug has two independently controllable outlets and the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) has three. Everything else, IP44 rating, 1800W/15A, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and the same integrations, is effectively the same.

Yes. Both the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug and the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug (3 Sockets) are IP44-rated for outdoor use and work with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, though neither supports Matter or energy monitoring.
Do I need three outlets?
