# SmartWOD Timer vs Time2WOD

The clearest difference is ads: Time2WOD at none against SmartWOD Timer's shown. Time2WOD also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). SmartWOD Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (54K vs 25). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartWOD Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Time2WOD sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for SmartWOD Timer against 4.9 for Time2WOD. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartWOD Timer has 54K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of SmartWOD Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Time2WOD's.

SmartWOD Timer ships an update every 10 days, Time2WOD every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
