# MESHLE vs Keepsmile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MESHLE at 100% against Keepsmile's 20%. MESHLE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and ads (none vs shown). Keepsmile's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MESHLE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5.
