Verdict

The call

Rhythm and EatTimer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Rhythm's written reviews are positive against 13% of EatTimer's. Rhythm also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). EatTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
