Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Workout Timer at 4.7 against Exercise Interval Timer's 2.0. Workout Timer also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). Exercise Interval Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
