Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Buddha Wisdom at none against Chill's shown. Buddha Wisdom also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Chill's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 68%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
