Sprint Start helps athletes train reaction time and block starts without needing a partner. When you train alone, it’s impossible to create a truly random start — you always anticipate the “go” in your head. That anticipation doesn’t exist in a race. Sprint Start fixes that. By delivering unpredictable start cues with adjustable timing, Sprint Start allows you to practice your reaction and block starts in a way that actually translates to competition.
DHstarter

DH Starter is a race start controller for downhill skateboard competition starts, built to the exact specifications used at official events. Tap START to start the sequence. After three beeps in a fixed interval, the start beep will fire after a random delay. Comes with default configurations compliant to WGSF and World Skate rule books. Custom interval available. Built for the hill: Practice your start on your headphones or connect to a speaker to ensure everyone hears the signal when there is a big crowd at a race using Bluetooth. Custom countdown: Set a pre interval to ensure you have time to put your phone away, get your gloves on and get in position. Start sequence will continue in lock screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DHstarter at none against Sprint Start Pro's 1. Sprint Start Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
