Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eclipse Yourself at 4.5 against Mindfulness's 3.7. Eclipse Yourself also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). Mindfulness's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
