Which is the best/popular Smart Home app/systems?

[RollingProtocol666]

Hi, just wondering which is the best/home Smart Home app for Android users? Google Home, Amazon Alexa or Samsung Smarthings? Think I've confused myself in installing all 3 apps, but just thinking which I should concentrate on? Also if a 'hub' is still required even though all of my devices are wifi/bluetooth?

Best in what way? A lot of it will depend on what smart crap you hacve.

I have smart bulbs, TV, soundbar, smart vacuum cleaner, smart energy meter amongst other stuff

Saying if you have a Samsung phone it's more best to utilise SmartThings rather than Google Home etc?

Not necessarily, I have Samsung phones and mostly use Google home/assistant. More if you have a ring doorbell, Alexa will be better while if you have Nest Assistant will be better.

I have Google Nest stuff, because I like the tight integration, and I don't want to have to use Alexa (which I still regard as primarily a shopping assistant). There have also been more security concerns with Amazon's ecosystem compared to Google Nest in the past few years.
