Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: STAssociation at 100% against Timekettle's 25%. STAssociation also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Timekettle's advantage is ratings volume (467 vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
