Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: B at none against GameTime Manager's shown. B also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). GameTime Manager's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
