Workout Timer is a simple and powerful app designed to help you manage your workouts with precision and ease. Whether you are training at home, in the gym, or outdoors, this app keeps your sessions organized and on track. You can create multiple custom timers, each with its own name, number of repetitions, workout duration, and break time between rounds. This makes it perfect for interval training, HIIT, circuit workouts, strength training, and cardio routines. While creating a timer, you can quickly choose from ready-made workout presets of 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes to save time and get started faster. For rest periods, the app offers convenient break time presets of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, helping you maintain the right balance between effort and recovery. Workout Timer is built to be easy to use, flexible, and reliable, allowing you to focus fully on your training instead of watching the clock. Set your routine once, start the timer, and stay consistent with every workout.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Workout Timer at every 6 weeks against EKtimer's every 4 months. EKtimer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
