Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Calmind at none against Meditopia's shown. Calmind also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 75%). Meditopia's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (22K vs 49). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Calmind sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Meditopia sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Meditopia holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meditopia has 22K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Calmind's written reviews are positive against 75% of Meditopia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calmind ships an update every 6 weeks, Meditopia every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 6, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
