Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rounds at 5.0 against Workout Timer's 4.4. Rounds also leads on ads (none vs shown). Workout Timer's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
