# Repeat Timer vs Interval Timer Sec+Sec

The clearest difference is rating: Repeat Timer at 4.5 against Interval Timer Sec+Sec's 3.7. Repeat Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). Interval Timer Sec+Sec's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (78% vs 64%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Repeat Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Interval Timer Sec+Sec asks for nothing beyond the download.

Repeat Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repeat Timer has 7.4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 78% of Interval Timer Sec+Sec's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Repeat Timer ships an update monthly, Interval Timer Sec+Sec every 12 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
