# Alarmy vs Digital Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Digital Clock at none against Alarmy's shown. Alarmy's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 52%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alarmy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alarmy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alarmy has 252K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
