# Horaly vs Meshk

The clearest difference is rating: Meshk at 4.0 against Horaly's 3.0. Meshk also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Horaly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Meshk sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meshk holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meshk has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Horaly ships an update every 3 weeks, Meshk every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
