Verdict
TimerCam and Photo Timer+ both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Photo Timer+'s written reviews are positive against 62% of TimerCam's. Photo Timer+ also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 85) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). TimerCam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
