Repbound helps you take back time from distracting apps.

Everything runs on your device — no account, no sign-in, nothing leaves your phone. Free: squats and the posture-reset drill. Premium (Lifetime or Monthly) unlocks the rest: extra micro exercises, GPS walks and runs, positive-app minting, and Apple Health rewards.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WorkOther at none against Repbound's 2. WorkOther also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Repbound's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
