Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tabata Timer for HIIT at none against RoundTick's 1. Tabata Timer for HIIT also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). RoundTick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
