# World Clock vs Toolr

The clearest difference is rating: World Clock at 4.4 against Toolr's 4.2. World Clock also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 358) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Toolr's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 32%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 6 months and Toolr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

World Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 358 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 46% of Toolr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
