Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Center Meditation Timer at 777 against mTracker's 2. Center Meditation Timer also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and device support (6 vs 2). mTracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mTracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Center Meditation Timer has 777 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Center Meditation Timer's written reviews are positive against 50% of mTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
