Some timers display right down to the second, and some maintain order and spatial structure, demanding that a grid STAY a grid, no matter what time is upon us. This clock does neither of those things, really.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BubbleTimer at none against World Clock's 1. BubbleTimer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
