Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 5 Minute Timer at none against Simpl Timer's shown. 5 Minute Timer also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 7 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Simpl Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
