# Flip Clock vs Fullscreen Clock

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flip Clock at 72K against Fullscreen Clock's 2.2K. Fullscreen Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flip Clock sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Fullscreen Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Flip Clock against 4.7 for Fullscreen Clock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Clock has 72K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Flip Clock's written reviews are positive against 76% of Fullscreen Clock's.

Flip Clock ships an update monthly, Fullscreen Clock every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
