Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timefully at 4.8 against Meditation Log's 3.3. Timefully also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). Meditation Log's advantage is iOS requirement (10.3 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
