Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer at 4.8 against TempoReps's 4.0. Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer also leads on ratings volume (86K vs 4) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). TempoReps's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer has 86K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer's written reviews are positive against 67% of TempoReps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer ships an update every 5 weeks, TempoReps every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
