The round timer built for fighters, not for gyms. Set your work, rest and round count in about five seconds, hit start, and put the phone down. Boxing Timer calls every round with a real boxing bell, warns you ten seconds before the buzzer, and keeps the screen awake so you never touch it mid-round. WHAT YOU GET - Custom work, rest and round counts - Real boxing bell at the start and end of every round - 10-second warning before the round ends - Voice cues that call rounds out loud, hands free - Vibration alerts for when the gym is loud - Save unlimited presets: 3x3 boxing, 5x5 MMA, 5x3 Muay Thai, your own - Long rest after any number of rounds - Daily training stats: sessions, rounds and minutes - Keeps running with the screen off and over your music BUILT FOR Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, BJJ, karate, taekwondo and wrestling. Heavy bag work, pad and mitt drills, sparring rounds, shadow boxing, circuits, Tabata, HIIT and any interval training you can put a clock on. WHY FIGHTERS USE IT No setup screens to fight through.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chime at none against Boxing Timer's 3. Chime also leads on ads (none vs shown). Boxing Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
