WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING This app is incredible. I've been trying to get into meditation for a while now and I've found other apps or videos I've tried have been repetitive or not very good. The meditations on here are so easy to follow and the app is very user friendly. I'm always sceptical about spending money on apps but this one is so worth it. ****** I have used many meditation apps but like this one best because it offers a variety of guided meditations to use in different situations or for different purposes. They vary in the amount of time required so the app is very flexible. I also like the stats which encourage you to practice regularly. Plus I can add meditation that I do outside of the app and track that too. I highly recommend whether you are a beginner or an experienced meditator. ***** HERE TO HELP Buddhify is made by a values-led family business and we love hearing from you. Your feedback, suggestions and comments make all the hard work feel so worthwhile and makes the app better as we continue to make buddhify as effective, accessible and beautiful as it can be.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: The Forge Dice at Free against Buddhify's $4.99. The Forge Dice also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). Buddhify's advantage is chart position (#93 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
