Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Neumo at none against Breathing Exercises's shown. Neumo also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Breathing Exercises's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Breathing Exercises sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Neumo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Neumo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Breathing Exercises has 3.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Breathing Exercises's written reviews are positive against 100% of Neumo's.
Breathing Exercises ships an update monthly, Neumo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
