Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nimai at none against Vedapath's 7. Vedapath's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and device support. On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vedapath sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Nimai asks for nothing beyond the download.
