The clearest difference is rating: Stopwatch‰ at 4.9 against Timy's 3.6. Stopwatch‰ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (32K vs 19). Timy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
