# GymFit vs Interval Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Interval Timer at 100% against GymFit's 62%. Interval Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). GymFit's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 142 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 100% of Interval Timer's.

GymFit ships an update every 11 days, Interval Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
