# Round Timer vs Interval Timer

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.

Both are free to download. Round Timer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Interval Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Round Timer has 296 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
