# Timer Plus vs Exercise HIIT Interval Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Exercise HIIT Interval Timer at none against Timer Plus's shown. Timer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Exercise HIIT Interval Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 60K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Timer Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Exercise HIIT Interval Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Exercise HIIT Interval Timer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
