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. Best Interval Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Burnd sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Burnd holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Interval Timer has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Best Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Burnd's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Best Interval Timer ships an update every 6 days, Burnd every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
