Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Workout Timer App at none against iCountTimer's shown. Workout Timer App also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). iCountTimer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (12 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iCountTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of iCountTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Workout Timer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iCountTimer ships an update every 4 months, Workout Timer App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
