Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meter Reading at none against SoundClass's 7. Meter Reading also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). SoundClass's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 22 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
