Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Meditation Studio at none against Eclipse Meditations's shown. Meditation Studio also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 26) and device support (4 vs 2). Eclipse Meditations's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 79%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Meditation Studio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Eclipse Meditations sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Meditation Studio against 4.8 for Eclipse Meditations. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meditation Studio has 9K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Meditation Studio's written reviews are positive against 88% of Eclipse Meditations's.
Meditation Studio ships an update monthly, Eclipse Meditations fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
