# PT Timer vs Intervals Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Intervals Pro at 4.8 against PT Timer's 4.3. Intervals Pro also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 95) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). PT Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PT Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Intervals Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of PT Timer's written reviews are positive against 84% of Intervals Pro's.

PT Timer ships an update every 5 weeks, Intervals Pro every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
