Sit Log

This free app supports your meditation practice. You can create profiles and, for each profile, configure the sitting length and number of starting and ending bells. It tracks your daily meditation "streak" and can display a home screen or lock screen widget. You can choose the "start of day" for your streak. You can set a "Count a streak from before Sit" if you want to continue a streak you started elsewhere. Sit Simple Meditation has a basic Siri interface and a Shortcuts interface. It collects no data unless you tell it to track your "Mindful Minutes," which is between you and Apple Health.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sit Log at none against Center Meditation Timer's 6. Center Meditation Timer's advantage is device support (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
