# Interval Timer vs Press Play and Go 2

The clearest difference is monetization model: Press Play and Go 2 at free with in-app purchases against Interval Timer's subscription. Press Play and Go 2 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Interval Timer's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Press Play and Go 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Press Play and Go 2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 33% of Press Play and Go 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Interval Timer ships an update every 4 weeks, Press Play and Go 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
