Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tapd at none against Timerace Lite's shown. Tapd also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Timerace Lite's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 19 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
