# HIIT vs SmartWOD Workout Generator

The clearest difference is monetization model: HIIT at freemium against SmartWOD Workout Generator's subscription. HIIT also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 4.8K). SmartWOD Workout Generator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HIIT sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SmartWOD Workout Generator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for HIIT against 4.9 for SmartWOD Workout Generator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT has 31K ratings behind it against 4.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of HIIT's written reviews are positive against 86% of SmartWOD Workout Generator's.

HIIT ships an update monthly, SmartWOD Workout Generator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
