Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MeditationWise at none against The Wisdom Tree's shown. The Wisdom Tree's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MeditationWise sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and The Wisdom Tree sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MeditationWise against 5.0 for The Wisdom Tree. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Wisdom Tree has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
