Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Crosstrainer at none against Boxing Interval Timer's shown. Crosstrainer also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Boxing Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
