Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HIIT Timer at none against BellBlock's 1. HIIT Timer also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). BellBlock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
