Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmartWOD Timer at 4.9 against Tabata Interval Timer's 1.0. SmartWOD Timer also leads on ratings volume (54K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). Tabata Interval Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
