With Scheduled Interval Trigger - you can specify the frequency of the task/job, such as triggering it every n minutes. With Scheduled Cron Trigger - you can schedule tasks with intricate specificity. You can instruct it to run on the second Monday of every month at 10 pm, daily at noon, or on the 9th of Feb at 7 pm. In the cron syntax, you define the minute, hour, day of the month, month, day of the week, and even the year when it should execute. Furthermore, you can assign periodicity to any of these parameters, allowing for customized scheduling Anything you can achieve with interval can also be achieved with cron I think, but not the other way around.
