# Intervals Pro vs Workout Timer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Intervals Pro at free with in-app purchases against Workout Timer's subscription. Intervals Pro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (14K vs 43). Workout Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, review sentiment, ads 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 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.

Intervals Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Intervals Pro'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.

Intervals Pro ships an update every 8 days, Workout Timer every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
