Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coffe Focus at none against WorkingHours's 1. Coffe Focus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). WorkingHours's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
