Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Meraki at fortnightly against AddVantage's every 12 months. Meraki also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Meraki against 4.7 for AddVantage. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meraki has 1.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Meraki ships an update fortnightly, AddVantage every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
