Somebody says they can do more push-ups than you. Settle it. Send a friend a number. They prop their phone up, do the reps, and the camera counts only the ones that actually reach depth. No honour system, no ghost reps - just a number you can both believe. Designed for people who would rather beat somebody than just log a workout: • Only clean reps count. Half a push-up is not a push-up, and Beastie will not pretend it was. • Your rival's number sits on screen while you go, so you always know what is left. • A challenge link works even if your friend does not have the app yet. • Your records and your streak are yours. Streaks pause — they never break. • Want structure? Build a plan the camera counts. It moves up when you land every set and holds or steps down when you don't, from clean reps only. • No ads, no levels to grind, and no account needed to start — or to take a friend's challenge. Push-ups, squats and jumping jacks, chosen because they can be counted reliably from a propped-up phone. We would rather do three well than twelve badly. Everything runs on your device. No video is uploaded. No video is stored. Try it free: your first counted set is on us, whether it's a solo set or a duel you start, and answering a friend's challenge is always free. Beastie Pro: every set and every mode (plans, Race your best, the Beastie gauntlet, unlimited duels and rematches) plus your full form-quality history. Pro starts with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Beastie is a general fitness app, not medical advice. Check with a professional before starting, and stop if you feel pain.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beastie at 5.0 against Interval Timer | HIIT Training's 1.0. Beastie also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). Interval Timer | HIIT Training's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
