Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BN at 4.7 against BRmesh's 2.4. BN also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 286) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.6). BRmesh's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BN holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BN has 1.9K ratings behind it against 286, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of BN's written reviews are positive against 25% of BRmesh's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BN ships an update every 3 months, BRmesh fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
