Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sTalk Messenger at none against Timekettle's 10. sTalk Messenger also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Timekettle's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
