The MeterRead app will draw a simple graph of the sampled data “live” on the device. This stored data can then be exported using any preferred communication app. The exported data will include the graph and measured vales in a table. In addition, simple screenshots of the display can be saved and shared.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SMS at 8.0 against MeterRead's 15.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
