Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ALCOProfessional at none against Meeting's 1. ALCOProfessional also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Meeting's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
