Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meshcode at none against Python Coding's 3. Meshcode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Python Coding's advantage is chart position (#18 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
