Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shotgun Timer at none against Running Stars's shown. Shotgun Timer also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Running Stars's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
