Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Weber® iGrill® at 4.7 against The MeatStick's 4.3. Weber® iGrill® also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and ratings volume (30K vs 1.2K). The MeatStick's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
