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 ads: Chrono Pumpkin at none against Hidden Timer's shown. Hidden Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
