Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GHome at 4.8 against BRmesh's 2.4. GHome also leads on ratings volume (80K vs 299) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). BRmesh's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
