PerfectWOD Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PerfectWOD Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitmeter Run Basic has 220 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Fitmeter Run Basic's written reviews are positive against 67% of PerfectWOD Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fitmeter Run Basic ships an update every 3 months, PerfectWOD Timer every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
