Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Intervals at 73% against HIITTimer's 0%. Intervals also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). HIITTimer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (43 vs 14). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
