The clearest difference is price: Clear Minds at Free against Walking Meditations's $1.99. Clear Minds also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 15 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Walking Meditations's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clear Minds holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clear Minds has 1.7K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Walking Meditations's written reviews are positive against 62% of Clear Minds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Walking Meditations ships an update every 15 months, Clear Minds every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
