Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Buteyko Pro at 4.8 against Address Stress's 3.4. Buteyko Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Address Stress's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Address Stress sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Buteyko Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Buteyko Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buteyko Pro has 45 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Buteyko Pro's written reviews are positive against 60% of Address Stress's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Buteyko Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, Address Stress every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
