Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tabata Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Tone sells 33 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 Tabata Timer against 5.0 for Tone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabata Timer has 9.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tabata Timer ships an update every 10 days, Tone weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
