Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Next Up at 2.8K against Interval Timer's 1. Next Up also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Interval Timer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
