During the last 40 years, Mindfulness has been integrated to both Occidental Medicine and Psychology fields. This applied science is recognized as an effective way for reducing stress, gaining self-awareness, diminishing stress-related physical and psychological symptoms, and improving general well-being. Mindfulness is a scientifically validated practice, and has been proving effectiveness in treating different issues, such as anxiety or sleeping disorders, prevention of depressive relapses, among others. Mindful is an app designed to generate and motivate the healthy habit of meditating, at least for a few minutes per day. The app is entirely customizable: * You can choose among different breathing rhythms. * You can set the breathing rate with the assistance of a voice guidance or by switching to the vibration setting on your device so you can keep your eyes closed. * You can meditate with some background music by choosing a personalized mini playlist for each particular moment of the day. * You are able to check the report and consult how many minutes youโve spent meditating. * In order to incorporate this new healthy habit to your life within 21 days, youโll be able to keep a register of your progress. Now is the time!
Lulia

Lulia is a personal AI assistant built around your voice โ not a chatbot with a microphone bolted on. Just speak. Lulia understands what you need, sees the shape of your day, and acts on it. VOICE-FIRST, BY DESIGN Talk naturally โ no commands to memorize, no menus to navigate. Lulia captures your intent in real time and responds conversationally. Switch to text anytime if you prefer. YOUR DAY, IN ONE VIEW Lulia syncs Google Calendar and Apple Calendar into a single timeline. It finds gaps between meetings, spots conflicts, and suggests the right time to schedule โ so you don't have to scan your calendar yourself. EMAIL THAT KNOWS WHAT MATTERS Connect Gmail and Lulia surfaces what actually needs a reply, drafts responses on request, and keeps the noise out of your way. REMINDERS AND ALARMS BY VOICE Create, complete, and manage Apple Reminders by voice. Set alarms, follow-ups, and one-off nudges โ Lulia handles the details. A MEMORY YOU CAN SHAPE Tell Lulia about your preferences, your people, and your routines once, and it carries that context into every conversation. Edit or remove anything, any time. A QUIET ASSISTANT, NOT A LOUD ONE Lulia surfaces upcoming conflicts, time-sensitive emails, and forgotten follow-ups when they matter โ and stays out of the way when they don't. A home screen widget keeps the next thing you need within glance. VISUALS THAT FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION The screen serves your voice. When Lulia mentions your schedule, a timeline card appears. When it offers a time slot, a picker shows up. Visual aids arrive when they're useful and disappear when they're not. YOUR OWN ASSISTANT, YOUR OWN DATA Every user has their own account and their own private data โ no shared profiles, no training on your conversations, no selling your information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lulia at none against Mindful's 3. Mindful's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
