Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Oitayo at Free against Talking Timer's $1.99. Oitayo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Talking Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
