The clearest difference is rating: Mecenat at 4.7 against Folkets Lexikon's 3.8. Mecenat also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). 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. Folkets Lexikon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mecenat asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mecenat holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mecenat has 74 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Mecenat's written reviews are positive against 50% of Folkets Lexikon's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
