Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TinySteps at none against Breathing Exercises's 6. TinySteps also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Breathing Exercises's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
