Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Big Timer at none against Clock mini's 18. The Big Timer also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 49%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). Clock mini's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
