Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meteor Shower at 5.0 against Wildfire Tracker's 4.5. Meteor Shower also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Wildfire Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (206 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wildfire Tracker sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Meteor Shower sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Meteor Shower holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wildfire Tracker has 206 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Wildfire Tracker ships an update every 2 weeks, Meteor Shower every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
