Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Meridian at Free against Range's $1.99. Meridian also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Range's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (6 vs 1). On ads there is nothing between them.
