Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Egg Timer Pro at 5.0 against Timer's 4.4. Egg Timer Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Timer's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
