Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MultiTimer at 4.8 against Speaking Stopwatch's 2.5. MultiTimer also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). Speaking Stopwatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
