Meshtastic is good for local mesh nets with a limited number of participants. If you rather want to connect to larger meshes, Meshcore is the better choice as it’s far more reliable in larger nets.
Yes, depending the case there are several alternatives, eg.Yggdrasil or OSHI Mesh. 40 years ago there was the Finger Protocol which still is implemented by default and works in Windows, Mac and most distros
Meshcore prefers to rely on volunteer infrastructure, meshtastic is better at ad-hoc networks.
If your going to a concert or convention, Meshtastic would be the better system. If your at home trying to make a local network, Meshcore is the tool for you.
Right now the issue is that they both mostly use the same hardware and there isnt really a method of using both projects on the same device to utilize their best aspects, ya sorta just have to go with what everyone else uses.
I saw a device just the other day that had 2 Heltec boards in one in closure so you could have both Meshcore/tastic firmwares running in one handheld enclosure. It seemed like a good way to have both firmwares running in a single device.
