Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Meditations at Free against Siddur's $5.99. Meditations also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Siddur's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1) and chart position (#62 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
