Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stopwatch‰ at none against Multi's 8. Stopwatch‰ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (87% vs 64%). Multi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
