# MalaMode vs Meditation Counter

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.

Both are free to download. MalaMode sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Meditation Counter asks for nothing beyond the download.

Meditation Counter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MalaMode has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
