Contraction Timer & Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 19) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LactApp sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Contraction Timer & Tracker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
