Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mecenat at 4.7 against Lexin's 3.9. Mecenat also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Lexin's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lexin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mecenat asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mecenat holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mecenat has 74 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Mecenat's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lexin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mecenat ships an update fortnightly, Lexin every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
