# HIIT & Tabata vs HIIT Timer Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: HIIT Timer Pro at freemium against HIIT & Tabata's subscription. HIIT Timer Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). HIIT & Tabata's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HIIT & Tabata sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and HIIT Timer Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HIIT Timer Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT & Tabata has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

HIIT & Tabata ships an update every 3 weeks, HIIT Timer Pro every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
