# Big Clock vs Digital Clock

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Clock at 4.4 against Big Clock's 4.0. Big Clock's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Digital Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 700 and 1.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Big Clock's written reviews are positive against 51% of Digital Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Big Clock ships an update every 4 weeks, Digital Clock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
