# Meco vs NextACGN

The clearest difference is rating: NextACGN at 5.0 against Meco's 3.9. Meco's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meco sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and NextACGN sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NextACGN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meco has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Meco ships an update every 2 weeks, NextACGN every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
