# Center Meditation Timer vs mTracker

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.

Both are free to download. Center Meditation Timer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and mTracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.
