The 1-800 Contacts app is for people who want to check “renew my contact lens prescription” and “order contacts” off their list quickly! We see you. We’re here for you. Let’s do this. - Access the largest in-stock inventory of contact lenses anywhere. If your doctor prescribed it, we carry it (and sell it for less). - Simple ordering: scan your contact lens box or search for your brand - Get your contacts fast with next business-day shipping - Expired contact lens prescription? Renew it with our 10-minute in-app vision exam, ExpressExam. - Save even more with your vision insurance benefits. Look up your benefits and apply them at checkout. We carry the exact contact lenses your doctor prescribes, such as Acuvue Oasys, Biofinity, AirOptix, Precision1, but make it easier, faster, and cheaper to get them. Plus, if you just need to renew your existing contact lens prescription, you can skip the trip to the doctor's office for a full eye exam and instead take our vision exam from home. Same prescription. Better experience.™ Other perks of ordering from the 1-800 Contacts app: - Free shipping, returns, and exchanges - Tear a lens? We’ll replace it. - Really good 24/7 customer service from real, nice humans - Our adorable eyeball mascot - On vacation? Forget your contacts? We’ll ship to your hotel. - Pay with Apple Pay

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 1 at weekly against meinMAXMO's every 6 weeks. 1 also leads on chart position (#84 vs unranked). meinMAXMO's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
