Just a stopwatch
Read full descriptionHide full description
Completely devoid of unnecessary functions, after turning it on it is immediately ready for action. The stopwatch does not have any configuration, it is convenient and easy to use. Minimalist and legible, user-friendly design. You won't find a better and free stopwatch. If you're not convinced, just try it out. The stopwatch measures the time of the entire run or individual laps. You can also measure the time of individual competitors. If you've been looking for a casual stopwatch, you've come to the right place.
SharedStart Stopwatch

Connect up to 20 stopwatches to one shared start. Every timer begins at exactly the same moment, while laps and finish times are recorded independently on each device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Just a stopwatch at 3 against SharedStart Stopwatch's 1. Just a stopwatch also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
