Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MangoTimer at none against NekoAlarm's 1. MangoTimer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 49 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.2). NekoAlarm's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
