Vibrana is your space for calm and inner balance through the natural vibration of sound. Built on the Solfeggio frequencies associated with the seven chakras, it helps you quiet the mind, reconnect with yourself, and make a daily moment of peace. SOLFEGGIO FREQUENCIES FOR EACH CHAKRA Calm, layered sound pieces, each built on the Solfeggio frequency of its chakra: • 396 Hz – Muladhara (root) – safety, grounding • 417 Hz – Svadhisthana (sacral) – emotions, creativity • 528 Hz – Manipura (solar plexus) – confidence, personal power • 639 Hz – Anahata (heart) – love, forgiveness, relationships • 741 Hz – Vishuddha (throat) – expression, communication • 852 Hz – Ajna (third eye) – intuition, clarity • 963 Hz – Sahasrara (crown) – peace, spiritual connection A JOURNEY THROUGH ALL SEVEN Let the frequencies carry you from root to crown in one continuous session. WHICH CHAKRA NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION? A short, free questionnaire points you to the centre asking for the most attention right now — with the frequency and practice to match. A PERSONALIZED PROGRAM, GUIDED Tell the guide how you feel — a state, a tension, a goal — and it creates a multi-day program with the right chakras, frequencies, mantras, affirmations and small daily rituals, with gentle reminders. GUIDED BREATHING Simple breathing rhythms — coherent, calming, box, and 4-7-8 for sleep — with a circle that expands and contracts to guide each breath, alongside the frequencies. THE 7 CHAKRAS, EXPLAINED SIMPLY For each chakra: its role, blockages and balancing, emotions, crystals, essential oils, affirmations and mudras — in a warm, soothing design. Plus voiced mantras (LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM, AUM) to repeat along with. YOUR PRACTICE A gentle streak and a seven-day view keep your practice close, without pressure. MADE FOR CALM • Listening sessions with a timer (5, 10, 20, 45 min or continuous) • Sleep mode that fades out so you can drift off • Background playback • A glossary for every term • No account, no ads WHO IT'S FOR For anyone seeking relaxation, a quieter mind, better sleep, emotional balance, or simply a daily moment of calm — for meditation, yoga, work, reading or before bed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BowlWave at none against Vibrana's 2. Vibrana's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
