Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Return... at 5.0 against Breathe O'Clock's 3.8. Return... also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and device support (5 vs 3). Breathe O'Clock's advantage is price ($0.49 vs $6.99) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
