Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meditation Counter at none against MalaMode's 3. Meditation Counter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). MalaMode's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
