# Playbypoint vs Workout Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Workout Timer at 88% against Playbypoint's 18%. Workout Timer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Playbypoint's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Workout Timer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Playbypoint asks for nothing beyond the download.

Playbypoint holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playbypoint has 4.3K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Playbypoint's written reviews are positive against 88% of Workout Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Playbypoint ships an update every 2 weeks, Workout Timer every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
