Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MixChart at free with in-app purchases against FX Meter's subscription. MixChart also leads on iOS requirement (14.7 vs 16.0). FX Meter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (51% vs 25%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FX Meter sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and MixChart sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for FX Meter against 4.5 for MixChart. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FX Meter has 384 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of FX Meter's written reviews are positive against 25% of MixChart's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
