    The older Aeotec SmartThings Hub (V3) is cheaper and supports Zigbee and Z-Wave, making it great for IKEA and Eve devices compatible with those protocols. The Aeotec Smart Home Hub 2, while pricier, offers faster performance, more advanced features, and support for 1,000+ Matter devices, so it depends on whether you prioritize cost or future-proofing.
