Best Smart Plugs

Updated

We reviewed smart plugs across app reliability and long-term update support, local control capability when internet is down, voice assistant compatibility depth, energy monitoring accuracy, and whether the physical size blocks adjacent outlets.

Matter standard compatibility is the most future-proof buying criteria. Smart plugs using the Matter standard work natively with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings without cloud dependency or manufacturer-specific bridges. Older smart plugs using proprietary protocols may lose app support if the manufacturer discontinues service -- a real risk in the smart home hardware market.

Physical size determines real-world usability. A smart plug that covers the adjacent outlet on a standard outlet pair eliminates half your outlet capacity. Rotatable or low-profile smart plug designs that leave the adjacent outlet accessible are significantly more practical in standard 2-outlet configurations. Check the physical dimensions before buying, especially if the outlet is on a power strip where adjacent outlet blocking is magnified.

Kasa Smart Plug HS103P4 4-Pack

The Kasa HS103P4 is a smart plug 4-pack with a very large buyer base. It works with Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT without a hub, offers app-based scheduling from anywhere, and comes in at the best per-plug price in the Kasa lineup. If you're building out smart home control for lights or appliances, start here.

Buy
TL;DR

Best Pick: a very large buyer base and best-in-category per-plug value in a 4-pack

Pros

  • A very large buyer base behind it
  • Best per-plug price in the Kasa lineup

Best Mini Form Factor

Best Mini Form Factor

Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A EP10P4 4-Pack

The Kasa EP10P4 is Kasa's ultra-mini smart plug, offering the same 15A rating and Alexa/Google Home compatibility as the HS103P4 but in a noticeably smaller footprint. With a large buyer base and strong monthly sales, it sells at a higher volume than the HS103P4. The main consideration: higher price per plug than the HS103P4 for a size advantage that may not matter in your use case.

Best for Apple HomeKit

Best for Apple HomeKit

Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A EP25P4 Apple HomeKit 4-Pack

The Kasa EP25P4 supports Apple HomeKit directly, which lets you use Siri voice control alongside Alexa and Google Home. If you're an Apple Home user who doesn't need energy monitoring and prefers the older HomeKit protocol over Matter, the EP25P4 is the most affordable Kasa option. However, the KP125M's Matter support makes it more future-proof for Apple users building new setups.

Consider
TL;DR

Consider: Apple HomeKit support via native integration with Siri, Alexa, and Google Home

Pros

  • Native Apple HomeKit support
  • Works with Siri, Alexa, and Google Home
  • Compact mini form factor

Cons

  • HomeKit-only (not Matter), meaning less future-proof than the KP125M for new setups
  • Weaker buyer feedback than the HS103P4 and EP10P4
Verdict: Consider Full Review Check current price

Not Recommended

Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini EP10P2 2-Pack

The Kasa EP10P2 is identical to the EP10P4 mini smart plug but sold in a 2-pack. The per-plug price is worse than the 4-pack EP10P4. The only reason to buy the 2-pack is if you specifically need exactly 2 smart plugs and have no use for a third or fourth. Most buyers should get the EP10P4 4-pack instead.

Skip
TL;DR

Skip: same plug as the EP10P4 but worse per-plug value in a 2-pack

Pros

  • Same ultra-mini construction as the EP10P4
  • Smaller upfront spend if budget is the only concern

Cons

  • Worse per-plug price than the EP10P4 4-pack
  • Buying a 4-pack gives you extras for future smart home expansion at a lower per-unit cost
