Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MeChat at Free against Regency Love's $4.99. MeChat also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (98K vs 491). Regency Love's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 58%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
