Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch at free with in-app purchases against Multi's subscription. Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch also leads on ratings volume (41K vs 624) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Multi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
