Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Timemator at free with in-app purchases against Spellar's subscription. Timemator also leads on ratings volume (172 vs 26) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Spellar's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 63%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
