Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dial Timer at none against Stopwatch ٞ's shown. Dial Timer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). Stopwatch ٞ's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 17.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
