Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Interval Timer Tabata Workout at none against Workout Timy's shown. Interval Timer Tabata Workout also leads on ratings volume (974 vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Workout Timy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
