Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Meter Man at none against MotorBit's 1. The Meter Man also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.4). MotorBit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
