Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HIIT timer chronometer gym at none against TempoReps's 7. HIIT timer chronometer gym also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (37 vs 4). TempoReps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TempoReps sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. HIIT timer chronometer gym asks for nothing beyond the download.
HIIT timer chronometer gym holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT timer chronometer gym has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of HIIT timer chronometer gym's written reviews are positive against 67% of TempoReps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HIIT timer chronometer gym ships an update every 7 months, TempoReps every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
