Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Meraki at every 2 weeks against Secure Internet Access Remote's every 2 months. Meraki also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14 vs 16.0). Secure Internet Access Remote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
