Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Round Timer at none against Boxing Interval Timer's shown. Round Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Boxing Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 14). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
