Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Better Workout at none against HIIT's shown. Better Workout also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). HIIT's advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 25). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HIIT sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Better Workout sells 8 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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for HIIT against 4.7 for Better Workout. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HIIT has 31K ratings behind it against 25, 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 100% of Better Workout's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HIIT ships an update monthly, Better Workout every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
