Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: JogRunSprint at 57% against Interval Timer's 21%. JogRunSprint also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). Interval Timer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 536 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of JogRunSprint's written reviews are positive against 21% of Interval Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JogRunSprint ships an update every 4 months, Interval Timer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
