Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nekosan at 4.6 against 1 Meter's 3.9. Nekosan also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 28 months) and ratings volume (869 vs 87). 1 Meter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1 Meter sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Nekosan sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Nekosan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nekosan has 869 ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of 1 Meter's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nekosan's.
1 Meter ships an update every 28 months, Nekosan every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
