Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Time Left Today at 100% against Backgrounds!'s 54%. Time Left Today also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Backgrounds!'s advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and iOS requirement (4.3 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
