Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kitchen Timer at 100% against Egg Timer's 46%. Kitchen Timer also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). Egg Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Egg Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kitchen Timer has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Egg Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kitchen Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Egg Timer ships an update every 4 months, Kitchen Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
