Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Interval Timer at 69% against Burnd's 0%. Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). Burnd's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Burnd sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Burnd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 19K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Burnd's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interval Timer ships an update every 9 days, Burnd every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
