Verdict

The call

Timer Tabata for Workout, HIIT also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (513 vs 43). Workout Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
