Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lightboard at none against Scribe Timer's 1. Lightboard also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Scribe Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
