Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DTD ShotClock at none against Timer's 3. DTD ShotClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Timer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
