You can pick any exercise you like (i.e push-ups/squats/lunges). After four minutes you are done. All routines can be performed whenever you want and wherever you want. There is no need for expensive equipment or gym memberships. All you need is your body and what you can find around the house.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NMMA at Free against Tabata Trainer's $1.99. NMMA also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Tabata Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
