I have both and don't use either

Google home.

I have a couple Echo Dots hooked up to high quality speakers. They can sync through Spotify and play simultaneous music throughout my house - not sure if GH can do the same. Other than music and controlling my lights (and I guess the odd question or amazon order) I don’t really use them that often

I have two echos but also I use amazon music! 3.99 for unlimited for one echo dot :D also I have the smart lights so that’s neat

Google Home - much faster, wider and higher quality of development and features, especially if you are well plugged into Google's ecosystem.

Google over amazon. Neither of you have an iPhone

Google home. I feel the trajectory of development is more steep. Just discovered yesterday that it recognizes commands that contain more than one language (think Spanish and English).

The Spotify integration is honestly better than amazon which I thought was weird. At least as of like late last year

I use echo as a speaker. Google home is better from what I've heard from others. Amazon seems to be peddling it's merch through echo/Alexa.

Google home over any other.

You can get it for cheaper (brand new) on ebay. I recently bought a few for 25-30$.

Instead of buying smrt bulbs, smsrt coffee makers, etc. I just bought smart switches for about 11$ each. You can connect it to any electronic device to turn on or off using google home or using the google home app on ur phone (even iphone).

Benefit of dedicated smart bulbs is that even the white Hue ones can do dimming, and they’ll work with built in light fixtures. The color ones are too expensive but being able to turn down the lights to watch a movie is nice

I got the colorful lights because I like the mood lighting changes - basically have a disco by myself every weekend
