Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BreathX at 5.0 against Neurture's 4.8. BreathX also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Neurture's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neurture sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and BreathX sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BreathX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neurture has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Neurture's written reviews are positive against 100% of BreathX's.
Neurture ships an update monthly, BreathX every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
