# Fitness Coach vs Interval Timer

Fitness Coach and Interval Timer both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 40% of Fitness Coach's. Interval Timer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Fitness Coach's advantage is ratings volume (73K vs 39) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fitness Coach sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Interval Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Fitness Coach against 4.5 for Interval Timer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitness Coach has 73K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Fitness Coach's written reviews are positive against 85% of Interval Timer's.

Fitness Coach ships an update monthly, Interval Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
