Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Meshtastic at Free against Enforcer's $29.99. Meshtastic also leads on rating (4.1 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months). Enforcer's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.5). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
