Both are free to download. RecallCue sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Day Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.
Day Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RecallCue has 52 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of RecallCue's written reviews are positive against 50% of Day Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
