Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Matchpoint | Score Tracker at none against BadTimer's 1. Matchpoint | Score Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). BadTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
