Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kitchen Timer at none against Dash's 1. Kitchen Timer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). Dash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
