# Fitness Workout Timer vs Timer Plus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Timer Plus at 60K against Fitness Workout Timer's 8. Timer Plus also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fitness Workout Timer sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Timer Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Fitness Workout Timer against 4.8 for Timer Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 60K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Fitness Workout Timer's written reviews are positive against 94% of Timer Plus's.

Fitness Workout Timer ships an update every 3 months, Timer Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
