Smart2Box is a different training method that delivers better results faster! Smart2box is a comprehensive boxing training program. It was developed by Neville Brown – Former British Middleweight Champion 1993-1998 and Outright Lonsdale Belt Winner. Neville guides you step by step through his program. Start by watching the training camp page, it's full of videos demonstrating the tips and techniques Neville has learned over his long boxing career. Then start Neville’s carefully constructed ranking system. Use headphones or earbuds if you can for a much more immersive experience. Each level has a tutorial video in which Neville demonstrates the techniques you will be practicing. Watch it carefully and memorise the moves. Then play the audio track and follow the instructions from Neville. Carry out the commands as he speaks until the end of the round. Use the end of the round as a recovery period, just like in a real boxing match and get ready for the next round. Level one has four three-minute rounds of straight punching in a static stance. As you progress through the levels you will learn more complex moves and stances. At the end of each session you can assess your own performance. If you have done well, mark yourself as a winner and move onto the next ranking. Level 16 has twelve three-minute rounds of straight and combination punches.

Bout is a round timer built for boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing — with a twist: it calls out real combos while you work the bag, so solo training doesn't mean training blind. TRAINING MODE Pick your sport, set your rounds, and Bout calls out combos in real time while you work — jab, cross, teep, kick, knee, elbow, whatever you enable. Choose Boxing, Kickboxing, or Muay Thai, and a Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced level to match your experience. Want full control? Customize exactly which strikes are in rotation, or build your own custom combos strike by strike. SPARRING MODE Sometimes you just need a clean, quiet round timer — no voice, no combos, just the bell. Sparring mode strips everything down to rounds, rest, and a real bell so you can focus on your partner. BUILT FOR THE BAG, NOT THE COUCH Bout works in landscape, so you can prop your phone up next to the heavy bag and actually see the timer from a few feet away — no more squinting at a tiny portrait screen mid-round. WHY BOUT - Accurate lead/rear strike terminology across boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai - Customizable combo-calling frequency - Add your own strikes and combos - Leave a round early anytime - Completely free — no subscription, no paywall, no ads Whether you're drilling solo on the heavy bag or timing rounds with a partner, Bout keeps time and keeps you working.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bout at none against Smart2Box's 3. Bout also leads on ads (none vs shown). Smart2Box's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
