A lot. Many of them make you wait. I wrote ABTimers to help me play. I use it every day. Every time I think "It would be really cool if ABTimers did this or that", I add it as a feature. That's why there are so many settings and options for what should be a simple timer app. If you use ABTimers and you find it doesn't do something, please let me know. I will try to add it.

The clearest difference is rating: Timer Task at 5.0 against ABTimers's 4.5. Timer Task also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 56 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). ABTimers's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
