Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Mindful Timer at none against Soundscape Vibes's 1. The Mindful Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Soundscape Vibes's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
