Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Synced Timer Plus at Free against Durations's $2.99. Synced Timer Plus also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Durations's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
