Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mesh Agent at none against CMD's shown. Mesh Agent also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CMD's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 2) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
