Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gifling at none against Study Timer's shown. Gifling also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). Study Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
