# Analog Clock vs Digital Clock

The clearest difference is ads: Analog Clock at none against Digital Clock's shown. Analog Clock also leads on iOS requirement (12.2 vs 14.0). Digital Clock's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (153 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Analog Clock 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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Clock has 153 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Analog Clock ships an update every 2 months, Digital Clock every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
