Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ninja Pro Connect at none against Meross's 8. Ninja Pro Connect also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Meross's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meross sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Ninja Pro Connect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ninja Pro Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.8K and 4.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Meross's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ninja Pro Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
