All ham radio repeater groups here dropped Meshtastic as it was super unreliable. And they know how to build proper antennas and filters.

Meshcore is 100% free. The last issue was the closed sorce Android/iPhone client - but there are FOSS Flutter based-Opensource clients available (https://github.com/zjs81/meshcore-open)
