Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meraki at 4.7 against Jamf Self Service+'s 3.0. Meraki also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 277). Jamf Self Service+'s advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 56%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Meraki holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meraki has 1.4K ratings behind it against 277, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Meraki's written reviews are positive against 76% of Jamf Self Service+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Meraki ships an update fortnightly, Jamf Self Service+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
