Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Tabata Timer at free with in-app purchases against Phyzseek's subscription. Tabata Timer also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 86). Phyzseek's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. Phyzseek sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Tabata Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tabata Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabata Timer has 9.2K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Phyzseek's written reviews are positive against 98% of Tabata Timer's.
Phyzseek ships an update every 5 weeks, Tabata Timer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
