Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Meraki at fortnightly against Access Expert Mobile's every 3 months. Meraki also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 3). Access Expert Mobile's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
