Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Anniversary Note at none against Focus Timer's shown. Anniversary Note also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Focus Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
