Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MeetCal at 5.0 against Olyftia's 4.4. MeetCal also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Olyftia's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
