# Autarkie Manager vs MeterStats

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.

Autarkie Manager ships an update every 11 days, MeterStats monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
