Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tunode at 100% against Sleep Timer's 46%. Tunode also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Sleep Timer's advantage is ratings volume (185 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
