Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Timr at none against Stopwatch's shown. Timr also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 24 months). Stopwatch's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
