Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Float at none against Timer | Interval's 1. Float also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). Timer | Interval's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
