EKtimer

A simple timer that's divides time into sequences of steps. Each step may play a sound when it ends. The app may also control supported external displays.
Chrono Pumpkin

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 clearest difference is update cadence: Chrono Pumpkin at every 4 weeks against EKtimer's every 4 months. EKtimer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
