Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gym Workout Log at none against SmartWOD Timer's shown. Gym Workout Log also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%). SmartWOD Timer's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
