Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Multiple Timers at 5.0 against Timer's 4.4. Multiple Timers also leads on ads (none vs shown). Timer's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
