Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 100 Mile Coach at none against Timber's 2. 100 Mile Coach also leads on ads (none vs shown). Timber's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
