# Flip Clock vs SeClock

The clearest difference is ads: SeClock at none against Flip Clock's shown. SeClock also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Flip Clock's advantage is ratings volume (69K vs 4) and review sentiment (73% vs 58%). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flip Clock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and SeClock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SeClock holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Clock has 69K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Flip Clock's written reviews are positive against 58% of SeClock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flip Clock ships an update every 3 weeks, SeClock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
