# Nightstand vs Spiffy Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Spiffy Clock at none against Nightstand's shown. Spiffy Clock also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Nightstand's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (126 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Spiffy Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightstand has 126 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Nightstand's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spiffy Clock's.

Nightstand ships an update every 6 weeks, Spiffy Clock every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
