Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tabata Timer at Free against Aurora Yoga's $4.99. Tabata Timer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months). Aurora Yoga's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
