Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: KeyBindControl at Free against TimerTiles's $1.99. KeyBindControl also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). TimerTiles's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
