Verdict

The call

mewe and Faxo both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Faxo's written reviews are positive against 44% of mewe's. Faxo also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). mewe's advantage is ratings volume (294K vs 2K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
