Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Interval Timer at none against Round Timer's shown. Interval Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Round Timer's advantage is ratings volume (296 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
