The clearest difference is rating: Timer Plus at 4.8 against Round's 4.0. Timer Plus also leads on ratings volume (61K vs 1) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). Round's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
