Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Toothbrush Timer at none against Home Code's shown. Toothbrush Timer also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Home Code's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
