Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MobileMeter at 4.5 against Trip Account App's 2.6. MobileMeter also leads on ratings volume (729 vs 85). Trip Account App's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 30 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MobileMeter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobileMeter has 729 ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of MobileMeter's written reviews are positive against 35% of Trip Account App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MobileMeter ships an update every 30 months, Trip Account App every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
