Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HeartMath at none against Being Humano's shown. HeartMath also leads on ratings volume (4.6K vs 7). Being Humano's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
