Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sTimers at none against TimeSet's 1. sTimers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). TimeSet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 23 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
