Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The Lift Log at none against HIIT Timer's shown. The Lift Log also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). HIIT Timer's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
