# HIIT & Tabata vs SetGo

The clearest difference is monetization model: SetGo at freemium against HIIT & Tabata's subscription. SetGo 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). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 SetGo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SetGo 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, SetGo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
