Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Intervals Pro at 14K against Interval Timer's 1. Intervals Pro also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Interval Timer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Interval Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
