Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Trópiko at 5.0 against Meson's 1.9. Trópiko also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Meson's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
