Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Interval Timer+++ at none against Interval Timer's shown. Interval Timer+++ also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
