Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Eight Minute Abs at every 2 weeks against Abs Workout's every 9 months. Eight Minute Abs also leads on iOS requirement (11.4 vs 15.0). Abs Workout's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 8) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
