# GymFit vs Interval Timer

The clearest difference is update cadence: GymFit at every 11 days against Interval Timer's every 2 months. Interval Timer's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 62%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GymFit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Interval Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 246 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 84% of Interval Timer's.

GymFit ships an update every 11 days, Interval Timer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
