Which has better video?

The Ring. It records at 2560x1440, and the Hue listing gives no resolution. The Ring also sees 30 ft in the dark versus 20 ft for the Hue.

Which works with more smart homes?

The Hue. It supports Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Siri. The Ring works with Amazon Alexa only.

Is the Ring worth about $90 over the Hue?

If you want 2K video, audio, and longer night vision, yes. If you mainly want a cheap wired outdoor camera for an Apple or Google home, the Hue covers that for less.

Can I use either one indoors?

The Hue, yes; it is rated for indoor and outdoor use. The Ring Spotlight Cam Plug-In is listed for outdoor use only.

Neither listing gives a warranty or expected lifespan, so there is no basis to say. Both are wired or plug-in, so neither depends on a battery.
