Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stopwatch° at 99% against Stop & Note's 50%. Stopwatch° also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (286 vs 1). Stop & Note's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Stop & Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopwatch° has 286 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Stop & Note's written reviews are positive against 99% of Stopwatch°'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stop & Note ships an update every 10 months, Stopwatch° every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on August 6, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
