Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiimer at 100% against Timer's 20%. Tiimer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Timer's advantage is ratings volume (442 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
