The comprehensive visualization of all energy flows in your home gives you a complete picture of how much energy is currently drawn from your solar panel / battery / grid and where it is consumed (home / battery / grid / virtual wallbox). It is also possible, as an optional premium feature, to store your energy data for a period of up to 2 years. This will give you a long term overview of how and where your energy was generated and consumed. Configurable notifications let you when certain conditions are met in near real time. The Apple Watch integration shows you the charging state of your battery and how much power it currently consumes / provides.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MeterStats at 5.0 against Autarkie Manager's 4.2. Autarkie Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Autarkie Manager sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and MeterStats sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MeterStats holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autarkie Manager has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 63% and 63% positive.
