Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: HIIT Timer Pro at freemium against Interval Timer's subscription. HIIT Timer Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
