Set multiple timers and stopwatches at the same time. Create as many as you need and let each one run independently. Start a Quick Timer in seconds using common presets or a simple minutes slider. You can also start one with Siri and Shortcuts, or add configurable controls to Control Center, the Lock Screen, the Action button, and the Mac menu bar. Use countdown timers for tasks with a fixed duration, or count-up stopwatches when you just want to track elapsed time. Timer keeps your data locally on the device and syncs it with your other devices using iCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: timer & stopwatch at every 3 months against Beautiful Timer's every 39 months. Beautiful Timer's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
