Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Simple Timer at Free against Character Counter's $0.99. Simple Timer also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Character Counter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
