# Zen Flip Clock vs 12x

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 12x at none against Zen Flip Clock's 3. 12x also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Zen Flip Clock's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zen Flip Clock sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 12x asks for nothing beyond the download.

12x holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen Flip Clock has 6.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
