# Clock Face vs Time Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Time Clock at none against Clock Face's shown. Time Clock also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Clock Face's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (17K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clock Face sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Time Clock sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Clock Face against 4.5 for Time Clock. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock Face has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Clock Face ships an update fortnightly, Time Clock every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
