Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: meramu at none against DevSwipe's shown. meramu also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). DevSwipe's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
