Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AAM All Access at 3.5 against MesaNow's 2.7. AAM All Access also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 22). MesaNow's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AAM All Access holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AAM All Access has 1.5K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of MesaNow's written reviews are positive against 17% of AAM All Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MesaNow ships an update every 3 months, AAM All Access every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
