Kasa Smart Power Strip HS300
The Kasa Smart Power Strip HS300 is widely regarded as a market leader for smart power strips thanks to its high outlet count, per-outlet control and detailed energy monitoring — features that make it ideal for power-hungry home offices or entertainment centers. It costs more than compact three-outlet strips but delivers stronger technical capability and richer analytics than budget options like Gosund and TP-Link's smaller KP303, giving better long-term value for users who need granular control and reporting.

TP-Link Kasa Smart Power Strip KP303
The TP-Link Kasa Smart Power Strip KP303 targets buyers who want reliable brand-backed smart functionality at a lower price point, offering voice assistant support and a compact footprint for simpler setups. While it lacks the HS300's per-outlet energy analytics and large outlet count, it undercuts many competitors financially and is a sensible, cost-effective choice compared with pricier premium strips like Eve and feature-heavy models from Kasa and Meross.
