Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Exercise Timer at none against Fitness Workout Timer's shown. Exercise Timer also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 8) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Fitness Workout Timer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
