Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Interval Timer at 4.5 against Timerlist's 3.1. Interval Timer also leads on ratings volume (150 vs 25). Timerlist's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (55% vs 29%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Timerlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Interval Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Interval Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interval Timer has 150 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Timerlist's written reviews are positive against 29% of Interval Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timerlist ships an update monthly, Interval Timer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
