Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RacePlan at 100% against Timepulse's 50%. RacePlan also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). Timepulse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
