# ClockDisplay vs Pixlay

The clearest difference is rating: ClockDisplay at 3.5 against Pixlay's 3.0. ClockDisplay also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). Pixlay's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). 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 Pixlay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClockDisplay holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 2 respectively. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 67% and 67% positive.

ClockDisplay ships an update every 4 months, Pixlay fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
