Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Measuring Tape at 4.0 against Shooting Range Shot Timer's 1.7. Measuring Tape also leads on price ($1.99 vs $6.99) and ratings volume (400 vs 7). Shooting Range Shot Timer's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 12%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Measuring Tape costs $1.99 and Shooting Range Shot Timer $6.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Measuring Tape holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Measuring Tape's written reviews are positive against 50% of Shooting Range Shot Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
