Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Yacht Timer at 4.5 against Regatta Clock's 3.0. Yacht Timer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). Regatta Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
