# Tabata Songs Plus vs TimerFlex

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimerFlex at 100% against Tabata Songs Plus's 47%. TimerFlex also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Tabata Songs Plus's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tabata Songs Plus sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TimerFlex sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tabata Songs Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabata Songs Plus has 269 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Tabata Songs Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of TimerFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tabata Songs Plus ships an update every 2 months, TimerFlex weekly. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
