Lily vs Abide: Meditation App or Daily Companion?
Honest disclosure: this comparison is written by the small team behind Lily. We name what the other app does well, and every factual claim here is checkable on the public App Store. We would rather you pick the right app for you than pretend the others do not exist.
Abide is the biggest Christian meditation and sleep app, with years of audio content behind it. Here is where each fits.
