Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sequence at freemium against Happier Meditation's subscription. Sequence also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Happier Meditation's advantage is ratings volume (143K vs 3) and chart position (#110 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happier Meditation sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Sequence sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
