Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Segmented Timer at Free against Magic PiP's $1.99. Segmented Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Magic PiP's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
