# Tabata Timer vs PRO BOXING

The clearest difference is rating: PRO BOXING at 4.7 against Tabata Timer's 3.8. PRO BOXING also leads on ratings volume (272 vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Tabata Timer's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tabata Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PRO BOXING sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PRO BOXING holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PRO BOXING has 272 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tabata Timer's written reviews are positive against 87% of PRO BOXING's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tabata Timer ships an update weekly, PRO BOXING every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
