AnyTimer is a free app which helps you cook several dishes simultaneously. Preparing pasta al-dente, making a risotto, steak or a sauce is easy when every second is under control. Do not forget to remove the food from heat, or to get it out from the oven, while drinking a glass of wine without having to worry about missing the important point: the moment of ultimate taste!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AnyTimer at none against Sous's 1. AnyTimer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.2). Sous's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
