# Interval Timer Tabata Workout vs Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer at 86K against Interval Timer Tabata Workout's 974. Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Interval Timer Tabata Workout's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (72% vs 61%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer Tabata Workout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer has 86K ratings behind it against 974, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Interval Timer Tabata Workout's written reviews are positive against 61% of Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Interval Timer Tabata Workout ships an update fortnightly, Interval Timer □ HIIT Timer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
