Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Multi at 64% against Stopwatch's 0%. Multi also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Stopwatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
