Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meescan at 4.0 against Dryfta's 2.8. Meescan also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Dryfta's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Meescan holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Meescan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dryfta's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Meescan ships an update every 2 weeks, Dryfta every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
