Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Finger Timer at 75% against Speed! Cube Timer's 25%. Finger Timer also leads on ratings volume (347 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.4). Speed! Cube Timer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Speed! Cube Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finger Timer has 347 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Finger Timer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Speed! Cube Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
