Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Interval Timer Plus at every 2 months against Timeline's every 22 months. Interval Timer Plus also leads on ratings volume (6.2K vs 9) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Timeline's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timeline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Interval Timer Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer Plus has 6.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Timeline's written reviews are positive against 95% of Interval Timer Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timeline ships an update every 22 months, Interval Timer Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
