Both are free to download. Clock+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. bnClock asks for nothing beyond the download.
Clock+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock+ has 998 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of bnClock's written reviews are positive against 45% of Clock+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
bnClock ships an update every 2 months, Clock+ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
