# Intervals Pro vs SwolTime

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Intervals Pro at 14K against SwolTime's 52. SwolTime's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SwolTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SwolTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Intervals Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of SwolTime's.

Intervals Pro ships an update every 8 days, SwolTime fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
