Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BG Turn Timer at 100% against Board Game Bible's 74%. BG Turn Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 15.6). Board Game Bible's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
