Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Badminton Score at none against BadTimer's 1. Badminton Score also leads on ads (none vs shown). BadTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
