Tado vs Netatmo - Octopus

Options
Before being on Octopus, Netatmo was a bit of a no brainer

They've seriously improved their UI, and they're a genuinely good competitor to Tado with zero subscription required 

I've since seen that Tado "works with Octopus" Given that's the case, that shifts things a bit in terms of money saved

What would people here go for? Assuming you're also using Octopus energy

    General radiators, powered by my combi boiler . There's no heat pumps involved if that's what you're getting at

    Then I don't understand the relevance of "works with Octopus" since the most frequent pricing of gas is daily.
    I have Netatmo and my daughter uses Tado. I prefer the Netatmo as it allows setting of temperature in 0.5 degrees increments.

    Fair enough. I may as well go for the Netatmo then 

    I guess it'd be worth having Tado if you had a heat pump?
