Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CompTrain at 4.8 against TimerWOD's 4.0. CompTrain also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). TimerWOD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (86% vs 53%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CompTrain holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CompTrain has 46 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of TimerWOD's written reviews are positive against 53% of CompTrain's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TimerWOD ships an update every 2 months, CompTrain fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
