Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LeSpot at none against Meetup's 23. LeSpot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Meetup's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
