Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Nightstand ※ at 4.4 against Midnight Alarm Clock's 3.8. Nightstand ※ also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 167). Midnight Alarm Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nightstand ※ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightstand ※ has 2.1K ratings behind it against 167, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Nightstand ※'s written reviews are positive against 47% of Midnight Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nightstand ※ ships an update every 6 weeks, Midnight Alarm Clock every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
