The clearest difference is monetization model: Breathe On at free with in-app purchases against Coherence's subscription. Breathe On also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Coherence's advantage is ratings volume (614 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
