Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tabata/Boxing Timer at none against ChronoTimer's 1. Tabata/Boxing Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). ChronoTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 30 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
