Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Meralco at 1.3 against Flash Express(PH)'s 1.0. My Meralco also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 2). Flash Express(PH)'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). 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.
My Meralco holds the better App Store score, 1.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Meralco has 54 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Flash Express(PH)'s written reviews are positive against 7% of My Meralco's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flash Express(PH) ships an update every 3 weeks, My Meralco every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
