Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EKtimer at none against Smooth Countdown Lite's 1. EKtimer also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). Smooth Countdown Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
