# MyMotion Free vs Interval Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.5 against MyMotion Free's 3.6. Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (536 vs 5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). MyMotion Free's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyMotion Free sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Interval Timer sells 3 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, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 536 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of MyMotion Free's written reviews are positive against 21% of Interval Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyMotion Free ships an update every 2 months, Interval Timer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
