Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Nespresso Smart at none against Capsula Timer's shown. Nespresso Smart also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). Capsula Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
