Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LiveActivityTimer at Free against Timer App's $0.99. LiveActivityTimer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). Timer App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
