Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: (Open Source) Mental Math at none against TimerMath's 1. (Open Source) Mental Math also leads on ads (none vs shown). TimerMath's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
