Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Intervals at none against HIIT's 11. Intervals also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.0). HIIT's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
