# GymFit vs Timer Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timer Plus at 94% against GymFit's 62%. Timer Plus also leads on ratings volume (60K vs 17) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). GymFit's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GymFit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Timer Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 60K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of GymFit's written reviews are positive against 94% of Timer Plus's.

GymFit ships an update every 11 days, Timer Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
