If all thermostats were free, the latest Nest would be hard to beat. It packs nearly all the features of the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, with some nicer touches and the flexibility of not needing a C-wire. As a high-end thermostat, the 4th Gen Nest Smart Thermostat reigns supreme.

If your thermostat is in a visible spot in your home—mine's at the top of the stairs right near the front door, so it's one of the first things I see—it doesn't hurt to spend a little more to have something that looks nice. If your thermostat is tucked away in a corner, and you don't mind fiddling with it, you may as well go with a cheaper option.
