Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Workout Timer App at none against iCountTimer's shown. Workout Timer App also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). iCountTimer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (12 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCountTimer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Workout Timer App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iCountTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of iCountTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Workout Timer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCountTimer ships an update every 4 months, Workout Timer App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
