Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bazee at every 4 days against Center Meditation Timer's every 4 weeks. Bazee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Center Meditation Timer's advantage is ratings volume (783 vs 1) and device support (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
