Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Before Sleep at 5.0 against MindEase's 4.4. Before Sleep also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). MindEase's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (135 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
