Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tea Timer at none against Tea Timer's 3. Tea Timer also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). Tea Timer's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
