The main upside with this timer is that it is simple and is mostly preset buttons versus dial based. And it doesn't save all your past timers if that annoys you like it does me.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Chrono Pumpkin at every 4 weeks against Coldpilot's every 3 months. Coldpilot's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
