Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Timefully at every 6 days against Meditation Timer + Log's monthly. Timefully also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 168). Meditation Timer + Log's advantage is iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
