Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Interval Timer Plus at none against Go&Rest's shown. Interval Timer Plus also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 8). Go&Rest's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
