Just sitting. · Dial in any length, from five minutes up · Chakra bowl bells, or silence · An eyes-closed flow that stays out of your way · Streaks that respect a real practice: five minutes or it doesn't count · History on a simple calendar, with trends over time quiettime pro ($2.99, once): record your sits, write mindful minutes to Apple Health, and add home screen widgets. No subscription. Nothing tracks you. Works with Siri: "Begin quiettime."

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: quiettime at daily against Mind Timer's monthly. Mind Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
