Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Timer at fortnightly against Stopwatch´'s monthly. Timer also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Stopwatch´'s advantage is ratings volume (305 vs 81). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stopwatch´ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stopwatch´ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 305 and 81 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Stopwatch´'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stopwatch´ ships an update monthly, Timer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
