Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: XCMeet at free against Webscorer Race Timer's freemium. XCMeet also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Webscorer Race Timer's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
