Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: START FITNESS at none against Tabata Timer's 5. START FITNESS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Tabata Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 14 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
