Moss
Read full descriptionHide full description
There's a kind of meditation app that wants to be part of your life. Moss just wants to get out of the way. Pick a duration. Choose an ambient sound, or silence. Begin. Everything else (session log, streaks, mindful minutes) stays quietly on your device, private and unhurried. Now on Apple Watch, too. Start a session right from your wrist, pick your own duration, and it logs back to your phone automatically. After a session, if you want, leave a quick note on how you felt. Entirely optional, and easy to turn off if it's not for you. No guilt if you miss a day. No badge pressure. Just a still place to return to whenever you're ready to breathe. Moss is for people who already know why they want to meditate. It just makes it easier.
Sproutly

More than water Log coffee, tea, juice, or a glass of wine too. Sproutly weights each drink so your total reflects what actually hydrates you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moss at none against Sproutly's 3. Sproutly's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
