Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CycleWind at none against Mindfulness Bells's 5. CycleWind also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). Mindfulness Bells's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
