Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timer Just at none against Stepwise Timer's 2. Timer Just also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Stepwise Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
