2026 verdict
The real gap here is the socket standard, and it favors the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug, which is built for European 100 to 240V Type F outlets against the North American Type B of its sibling.
That larger supply and its 16A rating give the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug a 3840W ceiling, roughly double the 1875W the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug passes at 15A on 120V. Both are Matter over Wi-Fi plugs that measure voltage, current, power and consumption, apply a custom tariff to show a running cost, and let you set current, voltage and power cut-offs, and both commission into Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant with no hub. The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is the smaller, slightly cheaper body and the right plug for a United States outlet. Choose by where you live and what you plug in: the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug for European Schuko sockets and heavier loads, the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug for North American 15A circuits.

What the differences mean
Socket standard
The two are the same plug in two regional formats. The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug fits 100 to 125V North American Type B outlets, while the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug fits 100 to 240V European Type F sockets. You cannot swap one for the other, so the outlet decides first.
Load ceiling
The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is rated 16A for 3840W on a 230V supply, where the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is 15A for 1875W on 120V. The European plug therefore has more than twice the headroom, which is what lets it sit in front of a heater, a kettle or a power tool on that side of the Atlantic.
Voltage range
The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is rated across 100 to 240V, so it tolerates both low and high mains, while the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is specified at 100 to 125V. Neither is a travel adapter; the rating simply follows the grid each is sold into.
Body
The Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type B Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is a compact 60 x 38 x 54 mm rectangle, while the Sonoff iPlug Gen2 Type F Matter Over WiFi Smart Plug is a larger 56 x 50 x 84 mm body. Both are designed to leave the neighbouring socket usable, but the Type B is the smaller of the two on a crowded strip.
Shared software
This is where the pair is a tie: both meter real-time voltage, current and power with cost tracking at your own rate, both have user-set current, voltage and power cut-offs plus overcharge protection, both switch locally with a button, and both are 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only with no Zigbee, Thread or Z-Wave mesh radio.
