Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mekorama at Free against Pan's $3.99. Mekorama also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and review sentiment (97% vs 62%). Pan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
