Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MEAC Network at none against HBCU GO's shown. MEAC Network also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). HBCU GO's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
