Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Stopwatch Pro at none against Stopwatch´'s shown. Stopwatch Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Stopwatch´'s advantage is ratings volume (318 vs 27). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
