Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Interval Timer at free with in-app purchases against HIIT & Tabata's subscription. Interval Timer also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 50%) and ratings volume (19K vs 1.1K). HIIT & Tabata's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Interval Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and HIIT & Tabata sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HIIT & Tabata holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 19K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 50% of HIIT & Tabata's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interval Timer ships an update every 9 days, HIIT & Tabata every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
