# Spinner+ vs Simple Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Spinner+ at none against Simple Clock's shown. Spinner+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Simple Clock's advantage is ratings volume (303 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spinner+ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Simple Clock sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spinner+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Clock has 303 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Spinner+'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Simple Clock's.

Spinner+ ships an update every 6 weeks, Simple Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
