The call

Tabata Timer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tabata Pro HIIT Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabata Pro HIIT Interval Timer has 18K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Tabata Pro HIIT Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 75% of Tabata Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tabata Pro HIIT Interval Timer ships an update monthly, Tabata Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
