Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sound Timer at 5.0 against Sandy Timer's 4.1. Sound Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). Sandy Timer's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sound Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sandy 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 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandy Timer has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
