Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Literary Clock at none against MultiTimer's 4. Literary Clock also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). MultiTimer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 8). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
