# Interval Flow vs Tabata Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tabata Timer at 100% against Interval Flow's 48%. Tabata Timer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Interval Flow's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (168 vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interval Flow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Tabata Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interval Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Flow has 168 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Interval Flow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tabata Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Interval Flow ships an update fortnightly, Tabata Timer weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
