Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Intervals Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Stride sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. 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 4.8 for Stride. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intervals Pro has 14K ratings behind it against 8, 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 100% of Stride's.
Intervals Pro ships an update every 8 days, Stride every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
