# Interval Timer vs Burpees Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.8 against Burpees Counter's 1.0. Interval Timer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (296 vs 1). Burpees Counter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Burpees Counter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
