Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TabiTimer at every 2 days against Sabolog's every 3 weeks. TabiTimer also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Sabolog's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
