Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium vs Nest Learning Thermostat

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium wins overall, offering a lower price, a higher owner rating, a three-year warranty, far more sensors and alerts, plus built-in voice control and a speaker. The Nest Learning Thermostat's strengths are its self-learning schedule, metal finishes and Matter support.

Sensing and features versus learning. The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium adds TVOC and CO2 sensing, air-quality/fire/intrusion alerts, voice control and a speaker, while the Nest Learning Thermostat centers on automatically learning your schedule and supporting Matter.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium by a wide margin. It adds occupancy, TVOC and CO2 sensing and supports temperature, air-quality, fire and intrusion alerts. The Nest Learning Thermostat covers occupancy, humidity and ambient-light sensing but only temperature alerts.

Yes. The Nest Learning Thermostat builds its own schedule by learning your routine, ships in several metal finishes, and supports the Matter standard, which the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium does not list.

Buyers who want the most capable, best-value unit here: an included sensor and trim plate, air-quality and CO2 sensing, a full alert suite, built-in voice and speaker, and a three-year warranty.

Buyers set on automatic, learning-based scheduling, a premium metal finish and Matter support, who are happy in a Google, Alexa or SmartThings home and do not need the Ecobee's extra sensors and alerts.
