# SmartWOD Timer vs HIIT Timer Pro

The clearest difference is ads: HIIT Timer Pro at none against SmartWOD Timer's shown. SmartWOD Timer's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartWOD Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HIIT Timer Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 5.0 for HIIT Timer Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartWOD Timer has 54K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SmartWOD Timer ships an update every 10 days, HIIT Timer Pro every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
