What “works with Google Home” means for a smart speaker
“Smart speaker compatible with Google Home” can mean two different things. Either the speaker runs Google Assistant itself (Google’s Nest speakers and displays), or it is a third-party speaker that can be controlled or cast to from the Google Home app. Only the first kind is a voice-controlled hub for your home; the second is just another device in the list.
Speakers are tied to their voice assistant. An Amazon Echo runs Alexa and is not a Google Home speaker, and a Nest speaker cannot replace an Echo inside an Alexa setup. If your lights, plugs and cameras live in Google Home, a Google Assistant speaker is the one that will answer for them by voice.
The entries below separate speakers that run Google Assistant natively from those that only appear as castable devices, with the source and date we checked each one.

Frequently asked questions
Which smart speakers are compatible with Google Home?
Speakers that run Google Assistant natively, such as Google’s Nest speakers, give you full voice control of Google Home. Some third-party speakers support Google Assistant or Chromecast built-in; the list above marks which ones we could verify and from what source.
Can I use an Amazon Echo with Google Home?
No. Echo speakers run Alexa and are not controlled from the Google Home app. To control a Google Home setup by voice you need a Google Assistant speaker or display.
Do I need a smart speaker to use Google Home?
No. The Google Home app on a phone is enough for setup and control. A speaker adds hands-free voice control and, for some models, acts as a hub for Matter or Thread devices; check the entry for the model you are considering.
