Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tabata Timer at 98% against Runify's 11%. Tabata Timer also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 4). Runify's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
