The clearest difference is price: The Mutiny at Free against Meridian 157's $1.99. The Mutiny also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Meridian 157's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 21). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Meridian 157 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meridian 157 has 5.2K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Meridian 157's written reviews are positive against 90% of The Mutiny's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meridian 157 ships an update every 2 months, The Mutiny every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
