Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CrossFit SDA at none against Strive Timer's 1. CrossFit SDA also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Strive Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
