Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Flick at Free against Timer's $0.99. Flick also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Timer's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
