Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Timer at 4.4 against Presentation Timer's 2.6. Timer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 62%). Presentation Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
