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.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Chrono Pumpkin at every 4 weeks against Timer's every 7 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
