Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.8 against Interval Timer's 3.9. Interval Timer also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 33%) and ratings volume (297 vs 7). Interval Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
