Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pushmi at free with in-app purchases against Interval Timer's subscription. Pushmi also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). Interval Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pushmi sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 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, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 3.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 86% of Pushmi'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 4 weeks, Pushmi every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
