ESP-Mesh vs ESP-Now vs ESP-WiFi-Mesh vs ESP-BLE-Mesh

there seem to be different ways to do mesh networking with ESP2866 and ESP32 and I'm a bit confused currently.
There seems to be ESP-WiFi-Mesh (https://www.espressif.com/en/products/s ... h/overview) and there is ESP-Mesh (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... /mesh.html) which according to this thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/esp32/comments ... wifi_mesh/) these are two different things?
Then there is also ESP-Now which also seems to connect multiple devices (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... p_now.html) and then there is ESP-BLE-Mesh (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... index.html)
Could someone more experienced possibly explain how these 4 things relate and interoperate with each other and give a tabular comparison of the benefits and drawbacks of them?
