Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timer Pro at none against One Tap Timer's shown. Timer Pro also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). One Tap Timer's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (33 vs 10). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
