The Ecobee SmartThermostat Premium does more for a little less, at $319.99 against the Nest's $329.99: room sensors, air-quality monitoring, a built-in speaker, and a 3-year warranty. The Nest Learning Thermostat's strengths show up mostly inside an existing Google Home setup. Outside that, the Ecobee covers more for most households.
