# Boxing Interval Timer vs Modern Interval Workout Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Boxing Interval Timer at 4.8 against Modern Interval Workout Timer's 3.0. Boxing Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Modern Interval Workout Timer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boxing Interval Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Modern Interval Workout Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boxing Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxing Interval Timer has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Boxing Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Modern Interval Workout Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Boxing Interval Timer ships an update every 3 months, Modern Interval Workout Timer every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
