# ClockDisplay vs Digital Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Clock at 4.4 against ClockDisplay's 3.5. Digital Clock also leads on ratings volume (153 vs 6) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). ClockDisplay's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClockDisplay sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Digital Clock sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Digital Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 153 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of ClockDisplay's written reviews are positive against 65% of Digital Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ClockDisplay ships an update every 4 months, Digital Clock every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
