Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Boxing Interval Timer at 4.8 against BoxClock's 4.0. Boxing Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). BoxClock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
