# Spectiv vs Peaceful Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Spectiv at 4.5 against Peaceful Clock's 2.5. Spectiv also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (24 vs 2). Peaceful Clock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spectiv sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Peaceful Clock sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spectiv holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spectiv has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Spectiv's written reviews are positive against 50% of Peaceful Clock's.

Spectiv ships an update every 4 months, Peaceful Clock every 20 months. Both last shipped on October 11, 2026.
