Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimerFlex at 100% against HIIT & Tabata's 50%. TimerFlex also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). HIIT & Tabata's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. HIIT & Tabata sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and TimerFlex sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HIIT & Tabata holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT & Tabata has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of HIIT & Tabata's written reviews are positive against 100% of TimerFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HIIT & Tabata ships an update every 3 weeks, TimerFlex weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
