Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MetrizedTimer at none against Burner's 14. MetrizedTimer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Burner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
