# Simple Clock vs SimpleClock

The clearest difference is rating: SimpleClock at 5.0 against Simple Clock's 4.5. SimpleClock also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Simple Clock's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Clock sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and SimpleClock sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SimpleClock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Clock has 297 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Simple Clock's written reviews are positive against 100% of SimpleClock's.

Simple Clock ships an update fortnightly, SimpleClock every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
