Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sound Timer at none against Kitchen Timer's shown. Sound Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Kitchen Timer's advantage is ratings volume (204 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sound Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Kitchen Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sound Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kitchen Timer has 204 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
