Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TimeCount at none against Ticking's shown. TimeCount also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (24K vs 12). Ticking's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Ticking against 4.6 for TimeCount. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeCount has 24K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Ticking's written reviews are positive against 79% of TimeCount's.
