# SmartWOD Timer vs TempoReps

The clearest difference is rating: SmartWOD Timer at 4.9 against TempoReps's 4.0. SmartWOD Timer also leads on ratings volume (54K vs 4) and review sentiment (88% vs 67%). TempoReps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartWOD Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TempoReps sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SmartWOD Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartWOD Timer has 54K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of SmartWOD Timer's written reviews are positive against 67% of TempoReps's.

SmartWOD Timer ships an update every 10 days, TempoReps every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
