Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Interval Timer at none against Timer Plus's shown. Interval Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Timer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 3) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Interval Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 60K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Timer Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Interval Timer's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
