Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Workout Timer at none against HIIT's shown. Workout Timer also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). HIIT's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 65%) and ratings volume (31K vs 15). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
