# Interval Timer vs SetGo

The clearest difference is monetization model: SetGo at freemium against Interval Timer's subscription. SetGo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, 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 SetGo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SetGo 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.

Interval Timer ships an update every 4 weeks, SetGo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
