LapLog

LapLog is a minimalist stopwatch built around a single idea: every lap deserves a name. Tap any lap to rename it on the fly and turn anonymous splits into a real record. Sessions get titled and archived to a history view you can revisit later. Switch on Parallel Laps when you've got multiple things on the clock at once - every named timer keeps running independently until you stop the session, so the fish, the corn, and the burgers each have their own elapsed time at the end.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LapLog at daily against BreakMode's every 3 weeks. BreakMode's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
