Both are free to download. Digital Clock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Vibrating Alarm Clock & Timer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 69K ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Digital Clock's written reviews are positive against 76% of Vibrating Alarm Clock & Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Digital Clock ships an update fortnightly, Vibrating Alarm Clock & Timer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
