HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your prep, work, rest and number of rounds. 2. Save the timer or start it right away. 3. Follow the cues — work hard, rest smart, repeat. WHY INTERVAL TRAINING WORKS Short bursts of intense effort followed by recovery are one of the most efficient ways to train. Interval workouts build endurance and save time — but only if your timing is precise. Interval Timer keeps you honest, counting every work and rest period so you get the full benefit of every session. PERFECT FOR • Gym-goers and home-workout fans. • Runners, boxers and CrossFit athletes. • Anyone short on time who wants maximum results. • Focused workers timing productive sprints.

FOCUS ON TRAINING, NOT THE CLOCK The hardest part of interval training is keeping track of time while you're gasping for breath. Interval Timer takes that off your plate completely. Set your session once, hit start, and let clear audio cues tell you exactly when to explode into work and when to recover — no glancing at a watch, no losing count, no broken rhythm. BUILD THE SESSION YOU WANT Quick Tabata blast or a long circuit, equal work and rest or lopsided intervals, two rounds or twenty — it's all yours to shape. Dial in your preparation time so you're ready before the first round, save the routines you love, and launch them in a single tap next time. MORE THAN A GYM TOOL Interval training isn't just for athletes. Use timed intervals to make housework fly by, to structure focused study or deep-work sprints, or to add rhythm to stretching and breathing exercises. Anywhere a little structure helps, Interval Timer is ready.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Captime at none against HIIT Workout's shown. Captime also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 8). HIIT Workout's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Captime sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HIIT Workout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HIIT Workout holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captime has 64 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Captime's written reviews are positive against 60% of HIIT Workout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Captime ships an update every 4 weeks, HIIT Workout every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
