Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Cube Timer at 4.7 against Smart Player Pro's 3.6. My Cube Timer also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 40%) and ratings volume (66 vs 13). Smart Player Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
