Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RunKit at 4.8 against Workout Timer App's 4.3. RunKit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (53 vs 3). Workout Timer App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Workout Timer App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and RunKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RunKit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RunKit has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Workout Timer App's written reviews are positive against 87% of RunKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Workout Timer App ships an update every 2 months, RunKit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
