Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timer at 4.4 against CubeTimer Lite's 3.6. Timer also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and ratings volume (81 vs 14). CubeTimer Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
