Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WorkoutBell at none against One Tap Timer's 1. WorkoutBell also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). One Tap Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
