# Interval Timer vs TempoReps

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.7 against TempoReps's 4.0. Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). TempoReps's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and monetization model (paid vs subscription). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TempoReps sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 3.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 67% positive.

Interval Timer ships an update every 4 weeks, TempoReps every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
