# Intervals Pro vs iCountTimer

The clearest difference is ads: Intervals Pro at none against iCountTimer's shown. Intervals Pro also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 12). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and iCountTimer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 Intervals Pro against 4.7 for iCountTimer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Intervals Pro's written reviews are positive against 90% of iCountTimer's.

Intervals Pro ships an update every 8 days, iCountTimer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
