# Interval Timer vs TimeFit

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Interval Timer at 19K against TimeFit's 321. Interval Timer also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). TimeFit's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TimeFit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeFit 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 321, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Interval Timer's written reviews are positive against 75% of TimeFit's.

Interval Timer ships an update every 9 days, TimeFit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
