Google Home and Amazon Echo are two smart speakers which have innovated the way we interact with our smart appliances and devices at home. Let's compare both.

It seems that the smart speaks in our homes could be as ubiquitous as the smartphones in our pockets.

The Google Home and the Amazon Echo interact with voice command. In Echo, you are talking to Amazon's assistant, Alexa. On the Home you are interacting with Google Assistant.

While Google has lots of data for personal human interaction and it can connect the dots of a conversation based on your line of questioning and thought but Echo can't.

But the real usability of smart speakers is seen in performing tasks where Echo takes the lead with 2 year experience. The Google Home is better at conversation, but Echo can carry out more tasks, also because of its third-party developers adopting its rich SDK.

Both Home and Echo can do tasks such as adding items to a calendar, making a shopping list, making a to do list, checking flight statuses, and tracking a package, but right now only Echo can also do things like order a pizza, call an Uber, of play a game like Jeopardy. Echo supports over 900 tasks at the moment, which means Home has quite a lot of catching up to do. Echo has hundreds of more skills than Home does.

The Google Home only supports its Nest thermostat while the Echo has a big lead as it supports products from Nest, Ecobee, SmartThings, Wink, Insteon, Belkin WeMo, Philips Hue, Lifx, Big Ass Fans, IFTTT, other smart home devices via its skills.

When it comes to availability, both devices are only available in US. Right now Echo is sold in the US for $180 and Google's Home which has just started shipping in the US retails for $130.
