Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Treadmill Trails at free with in-app purchases against Workout Timer's subscription. Treadmill Trails also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (974 vs 43). Workout Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Treadmill Trails sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Workout Timer sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Treadmill Trails holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Treadmill Trails has 974 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Treadmill Trails's written reviews are positive against 88% of Workout Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Treadmill Trails ships an update every 2 months, Workout Timer every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
