Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iLUX Mesh at none against Keepsmile's shown. iLUX Mesh also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Keepsmile's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 50) and rating (2.5 vs 2.3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Keepsmile holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keepsmile has 4.8K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of iLUX Mesh's written reviews are positive against 20% of Keepsmile'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 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
