Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time Us at none against TruTimer's 1. Time Us also leads on ads (none vs shown). TruTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
