Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Section Timer at 5.0 against Chronoplan Timer's 4.0. Section Timer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.1). Chronoplan Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (52 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
