2026 verdict
The Meross Outdoor Smart Plug wins this smart plug matchup by carrying a higher owner rating and adding IP44 weather resistance, which lets it run outdoor lights, pumps and holiday decorations that the indoor-only sibling cannot handle.
Both are Meross Type B, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi plugs with two independently controllable outlets and the same broad integration list (Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, no Matter or energy monitoring), so the app experience and voice control feel the same. The Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug counters on price, making it the cheaper choice for indoor jobs like lamps, a coffee maker or a fish tank light. Buy the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug if you need weatherproof control outdoors and want the better-rated unit; buy the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Plug if your two devices are indoors and you want to spend less.
