Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: HIIT Workouts & Tabata Trainer at none against Interval Timer's shown. HIIT Workouts & Tabata Trainer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Interval Timer's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 249) and review sentiment (69% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and HIIT Workouts & Tabata Trainer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HIIT Workouts & Tabata Trainer 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 249, 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 Workouts & Tabata Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Interval Timer ships an update every 9 days, HIIT Workouts & Tabata Trainer weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
