Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: HealTalk at none against Mindful Pause's shown. HealTalk also leads on ratings volume (941 vs 67) and device support (3 vs 1). Mindful Pause's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
