Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.8 against Workout Timer App's 4.3. Interval Timer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (77 vs 3). Workout Timer App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Workout Timer App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 77 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Workout Timer App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Interval Timer ships an update every 2 days, Workout Timer App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
