Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meta AI at 4.7 against OptikamPad's 4.1. Meta AI also leads on ratings volume (288K vs 11) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). OptikamPad's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
