Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tabata Timer · at none against IntenSync's shown. Tabata Timer · also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). IntenSync's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
