TIMERS FOR EVERY ROUTINE Choose countdown, Quick, count-up, Pomodoro and interval timers. Add a stopwatch, counter or clock to the same board.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MultiTimer at Free against Kitchen's $2.99. MultiTimer also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Kitchen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
