Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Relax+ at 5.0 against Rest's 4.5. Relax+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Rest's advantage is ratings volume (407 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
